Reflection of a past never forgotten

Sitting here thinking ...........looking at my 16 year old tattoo.

"Smile Now, Cry Later"

Traded Gang life and friends, brothers, spending times locked with some.....being happy to see a face you recognize and head nod.............. leading my brothers down the same path. making my parents and family worry for my safety, going down a wrong path that was gonna get me killed or locked up indefinitely, running from the Police.............gave it all up because I didnt want to see any friends die on a regular basis.


To think I traded all that gang life and certain incarceration or death .........for a life racing (cars) , dirt, and the start of bike life that has been going on now for over a decade! Being happy to see a face you recognize while riding, head nod, wave back.............meeting the same fates.......... losing friends to the life.............making my parents worry about my safety every time I go out............running from the Police,.............kind of makes you sit back and go ............well WTF!!


Where have I made or could I have made more of a difference with my own life? In an old life tearing people apart and supporting separation .............OR.......... start a new life where I bring people together??
