Making Up for Lost Time

In our lives, it's natural for us to think about going back in time and reliving certain moments or change certain things. There's nothing wrong with that.

As someone who has spent 20-plus years behind bars, I have lost my prime years. I have lost count of all the things and moments I wish I could experience. Oh, how I wish I could go back in time to do things over. But then, I wouldn't be who I am today. I'm not sure I like that.

The reality is that I don't know who or what I would have become had I not been in prison. That's something I will never find out. But the person I am today, I am proud to be alive.

There is not make up for lost time. The time is now. We have to make the best of it.
