I will just keep it moving

Dear Diary,

I have been in and out of jail for most of my life and prison three times. At the moment I am in a prison in Connecticut but I am from New York. I was in a halfway house and I left because my daughter's mother begged me to come home, so I left and went home. I started working and going home, not hanging out at all. For the first time, I was being a family man - something that I never thought that I could do. I'm telling you things were great. We were going to family functions, dinners, taking our daughter to the movies, the park and things like that. I was having the time of my life and I have never felt better in my whole life.

My happiness was cut short because two months later it all caught up to me. The thing is, I had to finish up my time plus the extra time that they gave me after my time is finished. After that my daughter's mother left me. That really hurt me, I must admit it. Do you think that I am a fool? I will just keep it moving. I will get out of here in six months' time. In the meantime, I would like to know if it is possible that you can find me a pen pal friend and see where things go from there.

Foolish man
