Shaping Myself Today

by Uz, San Francisco 

I agree that we can learn from other’s mistakes. Unfortunately, I learned from my very own. I see it as life lessons, to be honest. I’ve grown from my past mistakes. I am able to channel my best self now more than before. I was super young and defiant as a young teen and early teen. I’ve guided myself. I didn’t have a big home, a dad, or a real positive role model in my life. I experienced from my decision making the consequences that came with it. 

So, I moved differently and ended up being a lil’ wiser. I’ve definitely humbled myself as well through time I think, as I watched other people make the decisions I made when I was young. I remain Uzi from within.
