Ovrproofmentalz - Bout myself

[ovrproofmentalz]

what up to all concious heads up on this site, regardless left or right... informed opinions is what it should be all about, even though actions speak louder than words (in that case the right can lick my scrotum)

I am a 18 year old black man living in the heart of toronto's inner city... born in the carribbean island of ST.Lucia, then sent to Zimbabwe to learn about my roots at a very young age... still living my life in poverty, but investing in my education.....was sent up here after living in brooklyn, and chicago.... too many temptations there for a ignorant knucklehead (i admit my mistakes) such as myself back in the days....

I moved here (toronto) and got hooked up with the wrong crowd, drugs, fights, robberies, ect... i got sent to jail at 16.... just got out 2 months ago, relaxing at my house collecting myself, and tryin to figure out exactly who i am....

while in jail, i learned a lot from my muslim peer teacher (a adult volunteer which trys to set kids on the right path) and he showed me the right ways, similar to what happened to malcolm X... he got me hooked on reading and such, and now i'm on this site to check and see what you peoples have to say.... i'm objective and open minded, something i wasnt a couple years ago and hope this sight will make me more informative...

thank you


one love

Welcome to the board.

Negativity? No. You earn respect by being honest and admitting you wrongs.
Some of the most chill people I know started out life in a similar way to you. You live, you learn, you come out a better person.
It is the arseholes that do not learn lifes lessons that annoy me.

absolutely not, man. I got nothing but respect for everything you've said, and the way you put it.

I've got one bit of advice, you mightn't want to hear this shit at all but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway....

Don't spend too much time


relaxing at my house collecting myself

The longer you spend doing this, the harder it is to get back out there. I've not been to jail, but I have "relaxed at my house" and its hard to get your shit together after too long.

I dunno, you could be totally different to me (the circumstances are), but like I said, I just wanna throw it out there.

Stay cool.
