All by myself
Kurtis is currently incarcerated. His blog posts come from his correspondence.
It feels good knowin’ my story (the whole story) may be a part of a movie because a lot of time when people fall on bad times their dreams and plans are forgotten or replaced with tryin’ to improvise with their current situation. I don’t want either to happen to me. Knowin’ that my story is gonna be told gives me more initiative to continue fighting for a better ending…
In our daily lives, we make a lot of decisions based on what people expect us to do or think of us, when in all actuality, it don’t matter. When I sit back and start runnin’ through names and relations, I think ‘damn, where he at’ or ‘what she doin?’ when it affects me very little or none at all to really know. People who you plan to know even five years from now disappear and leave you all by yourself. People who you thought had love for you brush you off as nothing but a memory. So I’ve decided to do the same. I came in this world all by myself, I’m livin’ this life all by myself, and I’ll take my last breath all by myself.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that these blogs are great…I’ve taken to reading them during breaks in class, and unfortunately during class since they are often more interesting than statistics…This is a great way to keep up your stories while I’m waiting for the next video clips…Keep up the good work, and have a great holiday season!

Hi Kurtis,
I just want you to know that there are a lot of people who care about you that you don’t even know! I work with your mother, and she loves you so strongly that her voice breaks when she talks about you. Through our prayers, we all want the best for you. Please keep working to be the best person that you can be.

Kurtis you will never be alone son, God loves you more than any of us ever could. Therefore even when we humanly feel we are alone and no one cares, he carries us and directs our lives, beyond our comprehension. Please anyone who reads this understand the plight of this young mans struggle with the streets and his self being. The strength of one can be the weakness of another. Young people, don’t put your faith in people. Trust God with all your heart and with all your understanding, and in all thy ways acknowledge Him and he shall direct your path. Keep your head up, and remember: “Giving up is not and option”!
