      @niikkii11 8 месяцев назад +10

      @@dime4026 my thoughts are actually irrelevant, but people like you want to speak on negative instead of the positive. I know hurt people… hurt people and shining the light on negative past opposed to giving awhi and aroha to the positive outcome is more damaging! People have choices to leave violent situations people and places. I grew up closely around many gangs and I know personally that the people who can cause the most hurt or harm they always have the biggest hearts to begin with and this is why they can hurt the most when their big hearts are full of hurt.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@niikkii11absolutely agree!!!! My brother inflicted so much pain on people, been in and out of jail since the age of 18 he’s now 27, but he has one of the biggest hearts LITERALLY!! Lots of pain and heartache he’s been through since he was a kid, and you’re so right he hurts others because his heart is hurting!!! No excuses of his behaviour whatsoever, but this is why some people are the way they are 🤷🏽‍♀️

    "The eyes chico, they never lie" can see the pain in his eyes has endured but also see the urgency to change for the better. Not an easy walk living a straight life after being in the system so long and everything youve ever known and love was found in a bottle or drugs and through violence. Hope you carry on the fight for change bro.

    Very inspiring. A person can look back on their life and let their wrongs define them and stay stuck forever - but though hard work and achieving your goals one small step at a time can find real purpose in life and what lyes ahead will be the thing that defines them in the end. Stay strong you are doing great things. This next chapter in your life can out-way the past and be your true legacy. Be proud of yourself brother 🙌

    Life is not easy the roads can be hard to travel. Keep pushing for the change you want to be. Your eyes are sad dont let your children carry that sadness. Fight for them, take everything you have been through as an example of what you dont want your kids to see. Find your inner strength we all have it and is powerful if you let it lead you. The strongest men I've known have never raised a hand to anyone. You got this, to realise your faults is the road to redemption. I wish you well i am proud of you for making the change keep it up. Yesterday is gone, today is a gift use it well, tomorrow is uncertain.
    Thanks King Dave your work is more valuable then you realise. You are light
