Correspond with a Prisoner - 37 year old male in UT

Hello World! Someone dear to me used to tell me, "You know you are living when things are not going your way." When I was free, I usually would do anything to get alone time. I loved staying at home alone. But, it was hard for me to be alone with two jobs and friends who cared about me, knocking on the door and wanting to hang out.

Then, I was arrested. Too much alone time. All I wanted was to go out there and do everything I should have done. I was reminded of this with at least ten pieces of mail every day from people who saw me online or in the news, looking to get to know me. Mail was coming in from around the USA and the world: the UK, Australia, Sweden, and even South Africa. But I didn't read the mail. I was worried that opening the envelopes and reading the letters would make me even more depressed. I was in the cage and worried that people would write and ask me what I wanted to do when I got out and where I wanted to go after I got released without them knowing I would never be released. I worried that just hearing their stories about the free world would be unbearable at that time in my life. Prison was new to me. Everything was overwhelming, and I just couldn't open the letters - All the inmates thought I was crazy for not reading all the mail. They told me how lucky I was to have mail. I shouldn't have considered how I should write back to everyone. A couple of years passed, and then one day, it hit me- I hadn't received any mail in a long time - it had stopped coming, And I regretted not opening those letters. I asked myself, "Why do I always miss out on opportunities or appreciate things only after they are gone?

Now, I have to adjust to prison fully, and I have time to process my situation and my fate here. I am finally ready to receive mail and share my world with you. Have you shared yours with me? In my world, Inmates microwave eggs and blow up the microwaves. In my world, inmates get hungry and decide To Chase down the goose, pluck the feathers, and try to cook it in the microwave. In my world, inmates think trying to escape while wearing flip-flops is a good idea. My world is quite unique, to put it mildly. If you are interested in knowing more about me and my world now or about the world I lived In before my arrest, I would like to hear from you. I promise to open all letters and respond to you even though my past is in my rear view.
