The Men Behind These Walls...

There are people in my life who want more than I can give. And it's truly a blessing to be held in such high regard. But the costs of such admiration exceeds my current budget.

Prison teaches many important jewels: Time Management and Taking Nothing Personally.

I manage each day to protect my peace of mind. I'm Self-Incorporated. Self Inc. My motto is "I have my own business so I mind my own business." I don't deal with people a lot because most folks are bad business. I enjoy the company of good people, but even with them I take nothing personally.

Prison teaches Freedom.
It teaches that everyone comes and goes. The people who stay are jewels to be protected and valued, but not taken personally.

Women... if you want a guy in prison you can't expect him to take you personally. If you think you are special and that you deserve a certain amount of his time/energy it will manifest on its own. He will see you as the Jewel that you are. You'll naturally rise above the rest in his eyes. But most people are average. And if you are an average woman... it's OK. You score points by being real. But you lose value when you entertain unrealistic romantic ideas.

Don't be a false prophet.
It's like meeting a guy online and when you see him in person he doesn't look like his picture. That's bogus. It totally ruins the feeling you had about him.

Men in prison need women in their lives to have a decent social life. If not, they become institutionalized. We need visits, phone calls and mail. It keeps us connected to what's real. If a man has three women on his team it doesn't necessarily make him a "player". That's his social life. Everybody brings something to the table. You can't take him personally. He can't worry about who you sleep with or what you do out there if it's not affecting his relationship with you. And vice-versa.

Love is only sacred when it's free. Otherwise it's not Love at all... it's possession. Sadly that's what some of you want. That's why "SOUL" has such a special place in my heart. She understand that LOVE=FREEDOM. But most women I know like their Love seasoned with a 'lil domestic violence. It makes them feel needed.

My message to you... Chill
