I keep saying that, involuntarily, out loud to myself.
After prison , that , included 640 days in segregation. I believe I started saying it in the hole .
Maybe I am telling myself to lose the attitude I have found .
“I have been corrected “ is another thing I say to tell myself why my attitude sucks .
You see , in prison you/I, learn / feel that , Two wrongs make a right .
Like the devil on one shoulder talking in your ear and the Saint on the other . To speak hurtful things that you don’t really believe is a form of social suicide , or a way to paraphrase, / emulate in a way , how F’ed up the world seems to me .
I’m gona get off this rock ,of , hate , confusion, dismay, denial , deception and sour grapes .
My life took many turns, not giving up at really knowing ,is,part of personal inventory , reaching out, through, my recollections , makes me feel that , at least my first person perspective is more valid than , say , gossip.
I have suffered from mental health issues my entire life .
I don’t believe in labels ( diagnostic guesswork ) I have traumatic brain damage, and have seen other labels put on me , in , medical records
In grade school , they tested me and in many years , I was put in S L D programs. ( not at Linwood Elementary ).
Sever asthma ( that manifested when I was eight years old ) kept me out of serving in the military
I worked all of my life = some years there was four or more W 2’s to file .
I continued to work ( and volunteer) after getting SSDI in 2004 and still do.
