Last time I no money, so I did alot of bad things. Fortunately,
I was never caught and was given a second chance to live a new
life. I honestly think that this is a good opportunity so nowadays
whenever I can help, I will help my friends with their
emotional/financial problems because myself don't really have
problems at all. I am a lucky bastard I guess. But I don't take
things for granted, I am trying to be a better person and do
meaningful things nowadays, I'm 25 yrs old and it's a pity if I
would have to spend time in prison or something. My past still
haunts me every now and then, despite doing charity work and honest
work to contribute back my efforts to the society.
Ok, last time due to lack of money, I resort to shoplifting when I
was young, like 12+ years old. I quit shoplifting when I was about
16 because I started hacking and spending money off other people
credit cards. It seems easier and less risky that way. I chalked up
thousands of dollars (but I know the bank will offset these money
coz they were cc frauds), spent them on goods/software/web services
etc... I skipped school alot, but luckily still manage to graduate
nonetheless because I am often broke and no money to eat/take
transport to school so ends up everyday doing hacking and phishing
till about 19, then I stopped. My teacher hates me because of my
attendance in class, but they never find out why, they only blame
me and that makes me hate school really. When I hate teachers, i
started hating the school and therefore hated attending lessons. I
end up feeling really terrible about everything, my life was a
total mess.
At 20, during NS, I spent my time doing more honest living like
server security for corporate companies (secret freelancing) and
building applications for them. I also have my own biz so am kind
of becoming financial independent now. That's why I am very
grateful for whatever happened, and didn't happened, otherwise I
will be typing this post from jail ler.
