KIND REGRETS | Ep. 3 - Why I Am Still Doing This? - Risk & Consequences of Writing Graffiti

In this intense and deeply personal episode, I recount getting caught red-handed while trying to access a spot just before the holidays in Greece. How a simple scouting mission with a set of lock-picks escalated into a felony burglary charge and a stay in the a detention centre.This story is a hard look at the true price of writing graffiti - The stress on loved ones, the loss of freedom, the embarrassment, and the burning question that keep on returning: “Why am I still doing this?”How a quick mission can go wrong and turn into a misery behind bars. In this episode: * The Arrest - How a "15 min. mission" turned into a 3-night nightmare when police caught me with lock-picks outside a building in Athens * Inside the Cell - Real conditions in Greek police detention: the cold, the characters, the smell, the survival tactics, and the psychological warfare * Police Tactics - Why you should never open your phone, never make statements, and always get a lawyer * The Court Experience - Digital fingerprinting, handcuffs, prosecutors, judges, and the emotional elevator of not knowing whats next * The Real Cost - Beyond legal fees: relationships under stress, embarrassment, and the question of whether any of this is sustainable * Reality Check - Wrestling with freedom, consequences, privilege, and what it means to keep doing something that repeatedly lands you in jail Timestamp Index: (0:00) - Orientation (03:41) - The "Quick Mission" (08:38) - Police arriving & Escalation (16:30) - Going to Jail (19:35) - First night in Jail(21:12) - No Comment !!!

KIND REGRETS | Ep. 2 – The Name: Identity, Ego Trip & Graffiti as a Game

In the world of graffiti, you don't have a face - you have a Name (Reputation). In Episode 2 of KIND REGRETS, I break down another of the core mechanics of graffiti culture: The Name. As an identity, an avatar in "the game of graffiti".More in this episode: * Why anonymity makes the name the main character in "the game" * Why reputation often matters more than style * Graffiti is an an ego trip & how to escape that * Ego, narcissism, and why there is a competition in street culture * Graffiti as memory, immortality, and grief * How to Kill the ego (name) and take responsibility * When graffiti "stops being graffiti" * The role of intention, ethics, and mentorship Timestamp Index(0:00⁠) - Orientation (⁠04:05⁠) - Join the community on Telegram (⁠6:31⁠) - Graffiti as a Game: The Avatar Theory (⁠8:52⁠) - The Name is the Face ⁠(12:15⁠) - Reputation ⁠(14:53⁠) - Competition ⁠(16:39⁠) - The Egomania Olympics ⁠(18:06⁠) - Positive Personal Sentiment (⁠20:47⁠) - Why the Name Matters More Than Style ⁠(23:24⁠) - Hip Hop Ego Trippin (⁠25:40⁠) - The importance of intention ⁠(27:29⁠) - The Spam (⁠28:33⁠) - The sense of Immortality ⁠(32:20⁠) - Tribalism (⁠33:07⁠) - Why I Used My Real Name ⁠(38:00⁠) - When Graffiti "Stops Being Graffiti" (⁠42:00⁠) - Positive before and after all (⁠48:20⁠) - Free Bad Advice: Focus on Intention ⁠(52:20⁠) - Outro Join the community forum: https://t.me/+mxVy3P9B0Vg0YWU0 [https://t.me/+mxVy3P9B0Vg0YWU0] Boris Links: ⁠https://www.goodguyboris.com/link-in-bio⁠ [https://www.goodguyboris.com/link-in-bio] Kind Regrets Links: ⁠https://www.goodguyboris.com/link-in-bio-kr⁠ [https://www.goodguyboris.com/link-in-bio-kr] ⁠Join Mail List⁠ [http://eepurl.com/b1Wo-v] and never miss a drop or news.

KIND REGRETS | Ep. 1: The Spot - The Stage, The Paradox, and The King's Code

Graffiti culture, unscripted. Boris breaks the silence on the high-stakes moral code of "The Spot." In this unfiltered monologue, Boris dissects the ART, CULTURE, and LIFESTYLE of graffiti, starting with the most fundamental concept: The Spot. This is his truth about the rules, the violence, the hierarchy, and the paradox of vandalism. Made for the curious who recognizes true dedication, and for “true ones” who needs someone to say exactly what everyone is avoiding to.
