"I looked in the mirror and hated the person I see" - Chris Brown

Rapper Chris Brown has blamed his karma for his troubled past. The 26-year-old singer -- who has been at the center of numerous feuds, legal trouble and drama -- posted a photo of himself lounging by the ocean on Instagram.

The father of one wrote a lengthy note to his followers along with the pic, reflecting on his troubled past and bad boy ways and vowing that he's going to be better.

"I'm confuzed, I always thought I knew the concept of love. Fame and Money can get in the way of that. Most of my issues always deal with love and me being in my feelings. Not to mention me being a dog sometimes.

"I can't speak for everyone but I can say that my actions contributed a lot to my karma. Being jealous and angry and controlling. There has been times where I looked in the mirror and hated the person I see. I talk to God a lot now. He's given me so much and I feel like I waste his gifts because of my impulsive personality," he said.

Brown continued, "The world is full of negativity and I feel I play a part in it becuz of the choices I've made or mistakes. I tend to accept the negative or the riff raff because I know what it's like to be a young black 'n---a' in America. I always see the good in people even when they don't see it.

"I love others more than myself at times. Everything u see on the surface does not reflect what's inside. This is my white flag. I surrender to life and all its blessings. I refuse to be petty and attention seeking. To know me is to love me. Good Bad UGLY! Sincerely, confuzed."
