💔 THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MAKE BAD CHOICES — AND DON’T GET THE RIGHT HELPMatthew Joseph Medlin’s story isn’t easy to look at.A series of mugshots taken over 14 years show more than a face —they reveal a man slowly unraveling under the weight of addiction, untreated mental illness, and a system that never really caught him… until it was too late.Yes, he made harmful choices.But it’s just as heartbreaking to imagine the life he could’ve had —if someone had reached him, guided him, treated him with care instead of cuffs.His face tells the story of wasted potential.Of how one wrong turn can become a spiral… especially when no one’s there to stop it.This is more than just a cautionary tale.It’s a wake-up call — about how easily people fall through the cracks, and how desperately we need compassion, not just punishment.We only get one life.Let’s live it wisely — and help others do the same.Because one good choice can change everything. 🕊️#fblifestyle
