Follow the leader

For many years, I was a follower. My best cousin would have me follow him into starting fires, stealing from stores, and eventually shooting me in the head. So, after the last one. I no longer let just anyone lead me around. If they are up to no good. I abandoned them before I get hurt or hurt someone else.

I would categorize myself as more of a leader after being shot in the head. It is hard to trust just anyone and think that they have my  best interest in mind. So, I try to keep things kosher and don’t do things that  or others. I use abstract thinking, such as “what if,” if I do a certain act and play it out in my head before doing something. That is the way I have to be to not get burned by people who aren’t good for me. People do not usually approach me because most think I am more damaged than I am. So, in a way, that is good. It helps me stay out of trouble. Thank you for reading.
