changing before MY eyes

i guess everyone can say that people will change through out the years, i say that is true, you can change for the better or just go completely south...ive known people who have gone down and just never have come back up, or just started on their left foot and just kept going. i guess for me ive changed for the better, after talking to my god brother, and how we talked about the past, i remember how i was down for anything, no matter what it would be, riding for them, running with the bad crowd, didnt matter who was around, how many there were at the time, how big they were, how small they were... also the temper i had, even if you looked at me wrong, i would explode and think hey wtf is this guy's problem? and the clothes i used to wear, i look back and think jeez how dumb did i look, walking around thinking i was the baddest $%#@$%@#%@^ that walked the earth... all the baggy jeans, the raiders jerseys, the Nike cortez i cant believe i wanted that kind of life style, its cool when you first get into it, but if you take a step back and look at the whole picture, you will basically go nowhere if you keep that kind of mentality, im glad that i met people who i started kick it with and slowly on my own get tired of it and change, not only for myself, but for my family and friends.

now at this point in my life, im helping out my mom, going to school, keeping a steady job (thanks paul), being a faithful boyfriend, trying to keep in touch with friends...i think ive changed for the better... just next time if im faced with a change, i know to think twice and look at the whole picture and not act on impulse.
