  "The court finds the defendant guilty as charged and sentences you to..." These words were deafening to his ears; he wasn’t sure he was awake at that time, but he sure was. All he wished for was that this could turn out to be a dream, so sad that it was all but the reality. It was dawning on him that he had lost the most precious thing in his life—his freedom—along with his time, his dream of having a family, and so much more. He was a family man, you know, right from when he was a kid. His father always said he would make a great father, and he was sure of that. The sound of the handcuffs clicking signaled his last taste of freedom. Well, all the time left for him to live now would be spent behind bars; what a sad way to live, but did he have a choice? They say life is like a wind; you can’t really dictate in which direction it chooses to blow. Maybe only God knows, but he was too ashamed to even ask God for help. And so he let fate decide his path. His mother was the ...

Well, even before we delve deeper into this conversation, let me hype you guys ...because wueeh... adulting can be tough. So, if no one ever told you, then let me, you gat this!

You can trust me on this, I have been there, you probably been too... or you could ask Ibra, because what hasn't he seen.. haha But truth about breakups, some can be messy, others will leave you broken for years while others can be way more refreshing. One break up you might never heal from though, is the one that come with a touch of 'it's not you, it's me'. Well, I remember at some point someone really had to tell me that I am such a g...
