I interviewed T.O. back in the summer of 2017. He’d just gotten out of prison, where he’s spent the majority of his adult life, and he was trying to figure out what to do next. After we met, he found employment and he enrolled at the Community College of Vermont. Things were going well. But what does it feel like to start a brand new life? It’s hard. And it’s complicated.

Patience

Peep dis…
What’s patience??
What’s life w embracing trials and TRIBULATIONS without…
Patience???
Like…ppls ignorance… judgements…n gossiping…
Without patience.. there is no
Betterment!!!
I can’t reach my goals(10 folds)..
Until I reflect or resurrect..”my new from my old!!”
Looking back only seems

So PATIENCE…
How I love thee…
I’m not single..
But damn bitch..
“Would u marry me??”

Peace…
