  CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. " That was your karma. Accept it and be glad it happened now. Dwell on it but don't stay there for too long." - anonymous I've always considered myself the kind of person who sees things coming from a mile away. It's the overthinker in me. I always try to see different ways in which a situation can play out and take the route that will least hurt. Not the best way to do things because, sometimes, by playing out a situation you end up ruining the end and instead of having a happy ending, you get a disaster. This year, Not only did I get myself into trouble with the law, I also got my heart in trouble. LOL! Oh don't roll your eyes, you knew this was coming. ANYWAYS … I have to admit, I was living my best life. But the more the year went on, the more my brain and my heart stopped communicating. I was so caught up in my own world that I broke my heart in the process. This left a bad taste in my mouth.  See, people enter your life for a rea...

  SOBRIETY.  - Life is not written in pencil. You do not just erase and restart. Everything you do is documented in permanent ink." - Raphael K. NK. Mwange I was about 12-13 years old when I first heard my father say this and I never understood why he'd always say it. This quote is so vivid in my head and life now that I had to give him credit.

This small quote has a lot that comes with it. Death. Arrest. Jail time. Loss of another's life and more. Please be safe!

  THE CHOICE IS YOURS . "Learn to say NO! saying NO is your right and no one can take that away from you. No one will put you in a bottle for saying no either." - Eddy Mwange Welcome to a project/series I've been working on for awhile and am now introducing to the world. I took a long time releasing it because I was still stuck in the judgmental phase. I kept telling myself : " what if you're judged on the stories you decide to tell? are you going to delete them out of shame or keep them because they're a reminder that you've learned something you didn't know before?" So I came to the conclusion of telling my stories and sharing what I've learned in hopes for it to help someone else.  I was conversing with my brother one day. Hold on … let me rephrase that … I was getting LECTURED by my brother one day after picking me up from the police station. Yes. You read that right. That day I was so quiet. I was shaking. I was on the verge of crying an...
