“My children, hear me as I speak. I walk the same streets you do and I see your troubled faces, and your pain is clear. I too have seen a black cloud in which pain brings to your sky. I too have seen the world as my enemy, thought of myself as nothing… And the only role models I had were those that slipped under the same black cloud that I did. It seems I would never see my sun shine, and a happy place was a million miles away. When life seems unfair, two wrongs don’t make a right. The world is yours and the only life you lead is the one you make for yourself. Choose wisely for you will have to live with your decisions until you pass. The path to self-discovery cannot begin with the footsteps of another.”
