The Moment of Surrender

My bottom was on Pico in Los Angeles.  

I got pulled over.  I was selling marijuana.  

A police officer said, “Okay if I search your car?”

I said, “Why are you going to do that?”  He said, “Step out of the car sir” and searched my car.  

I knew I was going to get arrested and I knew I was in big trouble.

I remember sitting on the curb and I felt defeated, not just in that moment, but in my whole life.  I felt like I had been living one way and it wasn’t working anymore and that was the moment of surrender for me.  

Where I said, “Okay world, you win, I lose”.
