Jackson Aaron grew up trying to be 'the ideal son,' destined to join his dadâs struggling law firm. But at 20, facing exhaustion and an identity crisis, he quietly left Alabama with $1,000, a 1997 Lexus, and âwhat I could fit inside it.â Without telling anyone, he drove 1,200 miles to New York to be with his girlfriend Jacky. He admits, 'I don't regret leaving, but I do regret how I left.' His dadâs final words on the phone? 'You always said itâs better to ask for forgiveness than permission.' What a bittersweet mic drop!
