Two siblings, raised side by side,Same family, same values, yet different lives.One shines bright, a beacon of hope,A pillar of strength, a community scope. The other struggles, lost in addiction’s night,A path of darkness, a desperate plight.Their choices, not circumstances, define,The direction of life, the path that’s divine. We can’t blame our past, our parents, […]

AT 36, it feels more like I’m having to plan a funeral for myself more than a birthday or wedding celebration. I’ve 19 days to prepare for an entire RTD. Do or do not. There’s no try. Period. No matter what, this shot HAS to count.

Our destiny unfolds, not by chance or fate,But by choices we make, that shape our state.Every decision, big or small,Leads us down a path, where we stand tall. We choose our path, our attitudes, our way,Our relationships, our values, day by day.Chance may bring opportunities or strife,But our choices determine, the course of our life.

I dream of a house that i can call home. Where love, care and warmth exist, so much that you can’t possibly fill your heart up anymore. 36 years i’ve dreamt….

Many claim to follow, but few truly know,Their words and actions, a reflection to show.They speak my name, but hearts are far away,Their lives a contradiction, day by day.

15 years ago, on this very day, 10th July, i was officially called to Lincoln’s Inn as a Barrister-in-Law. Practically all my bar school mates ended up pursuing a career in the legal field and am extremely proud of some of my closest buddies who are now big names and partners in reputable firms. Today

JJ to his parents: “I want to be a lawyer” Parents: “Orh… *ignores him* JJ: “I want to go to Lincoln’s Inn” Parents: “Eh what?? I thought you only wanted to be a garbage man or firefighter??” JJ: “No, I want to be like my gugu” Parents: *stupefied and dumb-founded* One of the proudest moment

5 meetings – 4 physical, 1 virtual. My list of to-dos just keep getting heftier and heftier. And now it’s fighting sleepless nights worrying about next year’s financial projections and the economic situation out there. The stress is simply overwhelming and this is a real gross understatement. And the need to prepare a kick-ass infallible

They hurt me deep, with words so cold,And then they act, like I’m to blame, I’m told.They expect me not, to feel the pain,As if their actions, didn’t cause my heart to strain. They minimize, my emotions so true,And tell me I’m, overreacting, anew.But how can I not, feel the weight of their deeds?When their

Love isn’t measured, by the laughter we’ve shared,But by the tears we’ve dried, and the pain we’ve dared.It’s not the happy moments, that define its might,But the struggles we’ve faced, through the dark of night. It’s the pain we’ve endured, the heartache we’ve known,The sacrifices we’ve made, to keep love its own.The times we’ve forgiven,
