"Choices" was written because I reflected on my life and accepted the fact that I could no longer point the finger at anyone but myself. It made me think of my life growing up in the streets, at home, with my peers, and with my sense of ficklessness. I really hurt a lot of people, and I'm sorry for that. I've realized that "the past is the past" and once you accept and take responibility for it, you can move on.
