Today has been one of those days—the kind where life reminds you that nothing in the legal system is simple. I never thought I’d be here stressing about hiring a lawyer just so my probation doesn’t get revoked… all because of something that happened while I was in the hospital back in March fighting serious health problems.
From what I understand, it might even be a clerical or paperwork mix-up. But, of course, mix that with my past mistakes—those failed drug screens when I first got out—and suddenly it feels like the whole weight of my past is stacked against me. Those weren’t the main reason for this hearing, but they definitely didn’t help.
The thing is, I have documentation—loads and loads of it—to show what really happened and that everything isn’t entirely my fault. If this were all on me, I’d own it. I have no problem taking accountability when it’s due. But this time, it’s not that simple.
Now the headache and stress of navigating the legal system is just beginning for me. Once this warrant gets lifted, I’ll finally be able to get so much of my life back on track. That’s the goal.
I’m going to post my journey as I go through this because I know I’m not the only one. If you’ve ever faced something like this—or even something that made you feel like the system was working against you—drop a comment or send me a message. I’d love to hear your story, your advice, or just your thoughts.
Here’s to fighting the battles no one sees and refusing to give up.
