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.
But I wonder how different it would be if I was not a white male. There are so many more people that are deserving of praise. Single mothers working two jobs and raising their kids, coding at night when the kids are asleep.
Minorities that aren’t being given a fair shake when it comes to employment. That’s who I think should be given a platform.
I’m super tired and it’s super late so I hope this last bit doesn’t make me sound like a jackass.
I want to thank all of you. You have all made this night something I will never forget and you were all right. I don’t think I lost many followers. 😜
Wow. This was amazing Tim. You are truly an inspiration... I’m glad you never quit! 🙌🏾

If you could visit prisons and share your story, it would help so many!!! (I've work as a volunteer for years and getting a job is so scary that some offend in jail to stay in longer)
Thanks for sharing your story Tim. As someone going through some stuff of my own, you reminded me I may be down right now but there's plenty of time for it to get better. Have a great day man.
Great job Tim Myers righting your ship. I almost destroyed my life too. You are not alone
Thank you for your courage and eloquence. Amazing story. There aren’t many men who work that hard anymore I don’t think.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Thank you for sharing your story. I’m an entrepreneur facing what feels like death to me. Reading your story inspires me to keep going. I’ll see or find a way like it always happens. And you’re a .NET developer? Music to my ears. we could use your superpowers.
