The thing with the past is that you are supposed to learn from your mistakes and move on. If your past is outpacing your present, you might as well lie down and die.
Maybe but that's not really the context I'm thinking of. I just feel "small world/city" and someone will try to shoot me eventually for little to no reason. I can't move out the city until 2016 but I've done so much to distance myself from my previous associates and lyfe that it's been pretty easy so far but I still feel like something could happen when I least expect it. I don't even go to the parts of the city I used to live in unless I'm driving though
Absolutely, but that's the way life works. That's why you should try to not fuck people over and give them a reason to shoot you, You can't live in fear or walk around in Kevlar your whole life. Personally, I don't really fear anything. I mean, I may be a bit naive, but I'm a pretty happy-go-lucky type of dude. I try not to fuck with people or disrespect people, and life, well, you could die at any moment, so really, what is there to worry about? Breathe until you stop.
