What a week! This past week has certainly been one to write about but unfortunately part of the craziness is that all of the computers on the compound are down except for 1 (yes 1 computer for over 1000 guys). So… we have collectively (which I am very impressed by) decided that everyone has a 5 minute limit when using the computer so the rest of the guys get some sort of a chance at communicating with the outside world during the moves.
That being said… I will wait until next week when the computer situation is (hopefully) fixed to dive into the day in the life in here. Until then… I will leave you with this…
A guy that has been here a little over 10 years was released this past week and as I was talking to him on Monday night… his last night before the “final wake up”… he asked me… “Aight Hollywood… last nugget of knowledge that I need before I hit these streets… if you was getting out tomorrow… what are the 3 most important things that you would strive to take with you as you re-enter the world?” I thought about it for a bit as I didn’t want to give him a BS answer… “Man… honestly… I would try to continually strive toward… 1… staying mentally and physically healthy…. 2… keep building my emotional wealth…. 3… constantly pursue those moments of genuine joy and when I find myself in one… don’t take one second of it for granted.”
I wished him and I wish you… health… emotional wealth… and genuine moments of joy out there.
Stay Healthy. Stay Active. Be back next week (hopefully!)
