Freedom, how wonderful

The moment you become an inmate, you begin to recognize your mistakes and cherish your past life.

You realize that before committing any act, you need to think 150 times. “Is this necessary?”

You realize that there is no such thing as a hopeless situation. There is only one truly hopeless situation—when they are screwing the lid shut on your coffin. Everything else is SOLVABLE.

If you think your life is terrible—evaluate your surroundings. Tell me who your friend is, and I will tell you who you are.

Start reading. Change your worldview. Write down your thoughts. Learn new foreign languages for yourself. Forget the phrase “no time.” Forget it! There is plenty of time; you just don’t notice it or you waste it on nonsense. Establish a routine. Set an alarm with a terrible melody so you have to jump out of bed and turn it off immediately. Then you will get used to waking up at the same time.

Read a little every morning. Force your brain to work.

Start believing. In God. In yourself. It works.

Get rid of addictions and bad friends.

Can’t do it alone? There are many centers and people who are ready to help. And free of charge, too. You simply haven’t looked.

Being in prison, I realized how beautiful the outside world is.

How wonderful FREEDOM is…

How many resources we are given in this life, which we do not value until we find ourselves in a bad situation. How much we need support, even if we feel that we are strong and can handle things ourselves. It’s not true. I always thought I was strong. But it is difficult for me without my family and my beloved man by my side. This is the biggest mistake of my life…

If time could be turned back while retaining this memory, I would never, for any price or money, transport drugs to Hong Kong or anywhere else. Believe me, it is not worth it. In the time you spend in prison, you could achieve SO MUCH in freedom! And most importantly, LEGALLY!

All you need is desire and the right environment.

Do not commit foolish acts in your life.

Do not repeat my mistake. Money is NOT the most important thing in life. You should not risk your life for it. A single slip-up can lead to a lifetime of regret.

And think in advance: What will you feel afterward?

How will you feel when they put handcuffs on you?

How will you feel looking into the eyes of your loved ones afterward?

How will it feel to be cut off from the outside world?

How will it feel to sit away years, or even decades, for nothing?

Answer these questions yourself.

And believe me, even if you have “connections” and money, it will not help you escape a sentence in a Hong Kong prison.

Freedom and family—that is what is most important in life.

Value this before it’s too late. Don’t forget to think about yourself. Will you be okay? I beg you, everyone who reads this.

Do not get involved with drugs in any way. Take care of yourselves and your time. Value your relatives and your free life.

THINK BEFORE YOU ACT.

WE ARE GIVEN ONLY ONE LIFE!
