The past is sometimes hard to let go.

We all have stuff in our past that effects us now but how do we move on. How do we do something positive? It does not really matter what it is. I was married in May and things are good but I find myself mad when I think about what the last ten years have been like. Why should my wife have to pay for my mistakes? I know she loves me no matter what. The fact that the world is so unforgiving is what gets me.

I am not a felon but I have a misdemeanor. Even thou it has been ten years most company’s won’t hire me .the truth is I was young and stupid. My question is will it ever be different? I have a four year degree in computer networking but because of what  happened no one is willing to give me a chance. Back then I was not a man. Now I am trying to be a man but society will not let me. All I want to do is support my wife. I want to make something of myself. The sad thing is I don’t know what to do. The truth is I want an employer to see me right now for who I am for my clean record. The positive side of it is I would not have met my wife if this would not have happened to me. So I battle with myself sometimes.http://www.freedomofwords.com

I don’t agree with people who say what doesn’t kill you can only make you stronger. I just wish I was able to talk to someone about it and not have them want nothing to do with me. I am working on getting it expunged but it is an expensive process.

    You know something,…. no matter what others think of you it is ultimately what you think of yourself, that really matters!
    If society is not seeing the new person that you have become, foowey on them.
    Find the strength inside, and search for your gifts, and develop them, and sooner than later you will be doing something that you love, and you might just be able to make an income out of it! BELIEVE, and never give up, ever!
