Hey there, I'm Francisco Meyer. Welcome to my corner of the wiki. If you're here, chances are you're looking for some insights on happiness—or maybe just a bit of inspiration from someone who's been through the wringer and come out the other side.
A Bit About Me
Listen, I'm not proud of everything in my past. Growing up in East LA, I was part of the gang life. It was all I knew, all I saw around me. But here's what I learned: you're never too far gone to turn things around. Fifteen years clean now, and married to my high school sweetheart with three amazing kids, I've found a purpose that drives me every day.
What Brought Me Here
After leaving the gang life behind, I started working with youth programs in East LA. Seeing these kids—so full of potential but often lost and confused—reminded me of myself at their age. It made me realize how important it is to talk about redemption, second chances, and the courage to change.
Finding happiness is a huge part of that journey. When you're caught up in a life of chaos, joy is one of the first things to go. But learning to find peace, to appreciate the small things, is crucial for healing and growth. That's why I'm here—to share what I've learned about finding happiness even after the hardest times.
What Resonates with Me
I write about redemption because it's a journey I know all too well. I write about second chances because I've been given more than my fair share. And I write about happiness because it's the foundation of any meaningful change. When you can't find joy, when your mind is always racing with regret, it's hard to find the clarity needed to make real changes in your life.
What You Can Expect
You'll find raw honesty here—no pretense, no polish, just truth. I'm not going to sugarcoat anything. But what you will get is street-smart wisdom and hard-won growth. If you're feeling beyond saving, if you think there's no way out of the mess you're in, stick around. You might find some hope here.
I'll be diving into topics like:
- The power of gratitude in healing from trauma
- How small joys can transform your life
- Finding purpose after mistakes
- Overcoming shame and guilt
Join Me on This Journey
If you're looking for a place to start over, to find some peace, or just to understand that you're not alone, you've come to the right place. I'm here to share my story, to offer some wisdom, and to remind you that no matter how far gone you feel, there's always a way back.
