I understand your point/opinion... I can kind of relate. Between jail time... fines... issues getting jobs because of felonies... lost relationships with family... lost a relationship with the woman of my dreams because i simply put graffiti first second and third in my life... everything else is not priority. dont get it twisted. i am a functioning member of society... but ive had my fair share of struggles to get where i am today, and if not for graffiti i think i would be in a better place financially and career wise. I can say this though, graffiti has ruined the lives of the people around me because my actions effected them. BUT the people ive met, the friends ive made, the places ive traveled to and the things ive seen, id never take back. the fact that i can go to paris, spend days in tunnels and seeing everything that a normal tourist would never see in their life, amazes me. graffiti has ruined my life, but without it im not sure i would have really "lived" my life....
