DID YOU MAKE IT AS A BLOGGER?
Returning to where it all began 12 years ago, I realize that this blog is now a part of my past. While I occasionally revisit it, I’ve come to terms with the fact that my plans to revamp it won’t come to fruition.

PERFECTLY IMPERFECT
source Imagine a world where nothing challenges you. Every morning you wake up to a supposedly perfect world where everything is figured out.

MEMOIR: SUMMER FRIENDS DON’T STAY
I had a best friend, at age five, named Mishu (I hope I spelt that correctly), then we were still living in cote d’Ivoire. He was older than me, boyish charm, skinny, much like I am now.
