My cars are big and impressive like Shaquille O'Neal's cars. I bought my grandmother a new Jaguar car. My brother is incarcerated for committing a burglary. Now my mother is willing and able to travel, as she now has a passport. I witnessed my mother cry due to violent crimes committed in our community. I remember that last year, I was struggling financially. This is the life that I have always wanted and worked hard for. I went shopping at the luxury department store Saks Fifth and bought a Prada outfit.ĭespite some of my extravagant spending, I still have a lot of money left. I bought nice cars for them without any restrictions on use. I am beginning to notice and understand the contrasts between things in my life. My friend and I were playfully boxing, like what Roddy Ricch raps about, but without martial arts skills. When I feel overwhelmed, I need to smoke marijuana to calm down and relax. When I was seventeen, I took Percocet but it had an unpleasant side effect on my body. When I was twelve years old, I wore Tommy Hilfiger clothing.Īt age fifteen, I enjoyed listening to the song 'Bobby Bitch'. I was driving on the highway with a gun hidden on the seat for self-protection.Īlthough I have expensive jewelry, I still carry a gun for personal security. I need to be careful of people who might take advantage of my success for their own gain. When I shared my aspirations with some people, they didn't believe that I could achieve them. I got into my luxury Phantom car and quickly vanished like magic. I vibed really well with my partner and we connected effortlessly. I have a romantic partner who is skilled in sexual activities. I have a lot of people who depend on me and I take this responsibility seriously. I am aware of my abilities and what I can bring to the table. I am talented and special in my own unique way. I feel grateful and joyful every day, just like how people feel during Christmas.

If there's something I want, I will work to attain it and make it mine. I am living the life I have always dreamed of and it's different from how it used to be.
