The different people and places gave me a good sense of culture. I believe culture is important to any writer. I have had a lot of ups and downs in my life, too many downs that were self inflicted. The better for my writings. As of now I am 32 but have lived the life of someone much older. My ups are I served briefly in the U.S. Navy. I was once engaged and in love and had a good up bringing. The downs are being in the streets, drugs, gangs, and prison. In the end over coming the ups and downs is what counts.weniger sehen
