Gucci Mane, who has been locked up since September 2013, recently penned an inspirational letter to XXL which was published on the hip-hop site today. In it he reflects upon the 10th anniversary of his debut album, 'Trap House,' and how appreciative he is of his supportive fans.

Although the sincere note begins with Gucci reflecting on the turmoil he felt at the time of his debut's release, it ends with a hopeful outlook for his future.

Check out the letter in its entirety below.

"I dropped my 1st album Traphouse ten years ago May 2005 I remember being proud and angry the day it was released. I was proud of the work I put in and the quality of the project but I was angry that someone had to be killed over a dispute about the rights to some of the contents of the album. 10 years later I reflect on how that day impacted my life and my legacy and I am grateful for all the fans that supported me then and still support me now. Every challenge and obstacle in my life has helped me to become who I am today and provided me with the tests to display my resilience. I hope my life showed someone somewhere that if you endure the storm you will eventually get your chance to shine. I never give up and I have grown and learned so much and still am eager to learn more. I look forward to showing the world how much I have grown and getting out and helping my community. I have been blessed with the opportunity to be a recording artist and help others get their chance to be heard. To my fans I love you all and I want you all to know I am motivated and will not let my past decide my future. I chose to not focus my attention on my negativities but on my dreams. I will keep on hurdling and keep on hustling. My liabilities I turn to assets and even my inconsistencies make me the unique person I am. I am focused and I will be returning soon very soon so get ready. If I had to change anything in the last 10 years I would not change one thing. Sincerely Guwop!

its Guccciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Aside from the undying support of his fans, Gucci recently enjoyed a visit from his "ride or die" chick Keyshia Ka'oir.
