Young, dumb and broke

Picture taken: 2006

​Big dreams, big goals and big talk with no direction or path. Many years of darkness, misery and hardships ahead. If I could go back and talk to this Terin, I would tell him “hold on for dear life buddy. You’ve got a hell of a ride ahead of you.”

This kid here was labeled a loser, dropout, druggie, destined for failure. High school dropouts don’t get good jobs or achieve success. Alcoholics end up in jail cells. Drug addicts are destined for overdose and death. Society puts certain labels on us but I’m here to tell you... Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t do something because of your past life, experiences or traumas. Face your demons head on, find what lights that fire inside you and create something of it! Break free of societies chains, they aren’t real unless you allow them to be. WE ARE MORE THAN OUR LABELS!
