The Year I Was No Longer Needed – 2025
It’s midway through January of 2026, and I’ve spent the last two weeks sick. In that stillness, I found myself reflecting deeply on 2025 and all the change that unfolded throughout the year.

It’s Been A While
I’m sorry for the silence. This platform has always been a space I built for myself—to reflect, to process, to be honest. But for a while, it also became a reminder of just how much has happened. The truth is, I don’t think I ever fully processed the last 11 years of my life. But Continue reading

Brick by Brick
Nothing is built in a day. Everything meaningful—whether a dream, a love, or a life—is built, brick by brick. In the beginning, we know nothing.

Superhero
I am a man who holds but a few precious possessions in my life. It is the comfort that I grew to understand in my late teens and early 20s. It is not a matter that should be looked at with sadness. Yes, it was a hard time, and circumstances were not favorable, but it Continue reading

You’ll Never Know
How do you know when things are okay? How do you know when your on the right track in life? or if everything your doing is going to matter? We can have questions about life but not every question asked will truly have an answer. The moment our mind decides to bring forth a thought Continue reading

“What Now”
I’ve spent the last 10 years cultivating the person that I am now. My identity has been wrapped around everything I’ve put into this person and for the first time ever, I have to question “what now?” People who know me, know one thing about me. I’ve always said that I wasn’t a good person. Continue reading
About Me
I’m no one more special than any of you reading this. I work as a custodian during the evenings but every other time of the day I spend chasing a dream I’ve had since I was 16.
