As the sunroof was drawn back to bring in some life and light as we drove through a disserted highway, I could feel my ‘problems’ fade. That escape from reality is what we look for once in a while. We drove through the sunset not knowing the destination, an exhilarating feeling not having any anticipation […]
As she lay on the floor, hoping she had not sustained any injuries, only one thought was in her mind, “This can’t be the rest of my life.” She gathered her strength and got off the ground as the car drove off. Gina dusted her sides as she tried to figure out how to get […]
Many think a gift comes wrapped up with love, good or relatively good paper, and a note, that bears a good message and its sender but if you look at life in that view you may be receiving gifts during birthdays and Christmas if you are lucky enough. For me, my gift came fashioned in […]
I received a call from one of my old friends late last month. Initially, the call was weird, you know, the ones where there is an awkward silence on both ends for the first ten seconds, feeding my woke nature, it lasted longer due to the thievery in these streets. After what seemed to be […]

Chasing a dream is hard. This is what many people lack to disclose when they advise to follow them. Running beyond a reality, you know, to reach for something you have never seen but lives only in your wildest dreams. I want to say in my book its different, but the reality cannot be changed. […]
I remember the first time being asked to dance and I replied how I didn’t know how to. His response was quite vivid, “I didn’t ask you if you did, rather if you’d like to …” and it was in this moment I knew what fear meant. It meant passing up the experience not just […]
Do you believe in belonging to someone having not met them? Feeling you can easily talk to a stranger because you don’t have to overexplain yourself.
