I think it’s time for me to tell my full story. It might lose me some followers but so be it.
I hope you all realize how uncomfortable this makes me feel. I expected a few likes and a retweet or two. I am not...special. My goal was to inspire ONE person going through what I went through. I feel I deserved exactly what I got for the crime I committed. I am not a victim.
I don’t even claim to be a good person. That being said, I honestly appreciate all of YOUR words of encouragement. It’s all of you that inspire me. Maybe there is hope that the stigma of feloness can be overcome.
Omg I have a story….and when people read this they may also unfollow me too 😬😱😳 When I was younger & being trafficked I went to jail 24 times for prostitution & then the 25th and last time for taking a broom & chasing my x-trafficker with it and hitting him and his precious Cadillac Seville as he was laughing his ass off. Prior that night he had choked & slapped me bloody, stolen my stash of $8000 & locked me on his bathroom. I had too many tequila shots & SNAPPED. But now I take my past pain & help girls like me find hope, healing & a home (safe house) they can live in while they become whole again after trafficking abuses. P.S. I can’t believe I’m posting this I hope I don’t regret it in the morning….
@denvercoder I also got in deep trouble while drunk. Worst mistake of my life. So I feel what you went through and now trying to learn how to code at 49 years old and paraplegic. Great job man
@denvercoder I own a tiny business...and it’s in our mission to give people chances, and hopefully connect them to even better jobs in the future. We’re deep in debt, and the last few days I’ve thought about closing.Your thread reminds me I can’t close, that I need to push through. Thank you.
@denvercoder Man, I dont have a clue who you are, but you are my new-years inspiration.
@denvercoder I am one of the ONES, thank you for sharing your story. Wish you and your loved ones the best 🙏🏼
@denvercoder Mate, great read! Glad you posted it, glad your doing well. I am sure it will inspire someone, if not a few.
@denvercoder Wrong. You are kinda special. Brave, strong, loyal and loving!
@denvercoder It takes courage to tell your story. You deserve the happiness you now have. As humans we make mistakes, sometimes huge ones. They don’t need to define us though. We are not our mistakes. I hope the year ahead brings much happiness for you and your family.
@denvercoder Thank you for sharing Tim. I think I just got my inspiration not to give up. 🙂
@denvercoder You AREN'T special, and neither are we. You may have been over-sentenced, but you committed a crime, were punished, and served your time. IN TURN, You are the engineer. The designer and machine, in one. You had failures because you are human, and successes because you fought.
@denvercoder You did more than inspire me. Thank you Denver
@denvercoder @TaelurAlexis Thank you for sharing your story. You are an inspiration to many. Godspeed!
@denvercoder Thank you for your story, much respect your way Tim!! If you woke up this morning, it means God isn't done with you yet.
@denvercoder No one is perfect,I love your courage to spill these out. You are strong and indeed have outgrown those period.
@denvercoder With great risk comes great reward.
@denvercoder You are special because you are honest.
@denvercoder Im inspired especially now that I'm giving up on life Thanks for sharing
@denvercoder Inspire ONE person is enough. Keeping the head up is for braves! Thanks for sharing your story! All the best in 2019 happy new year.
@denvercoder Thanks for sharing your story. Real Question: post release, what one thing would have made your journey easier? Thanks and being being awesome!
@denvercoder I have a feeling that your story will inspire m as my people. I'm happy you got your life back.
@denvercoder Hi Tim, I have a friend in Charlotte who just came out this year with a similar story. Amazing the similarities. He's a special friend now, much of his past kept him from close friendship. If you would like to connect with him, I'd love to introduce you two.
@denvercoder That's because alot of people are going through a lot and are silent about it. Thank you for opening up.
@denvercoder Trust me u just gave me More Inspiration 😭😭😭🙏
