I was learning in school, but the learning lacked meaning. Plot lines and mathematical formulas were unavailing ideas, which I tepidly regurgitated. I concluded that a life permeated with monotonous toil was not worth celebrating on my day of judgment.…

I remember the molding of the hearing aid being stuck into ears, which felt like there was cold water in my ears.…

    In 17 years I’ve experienced many challenges and struggles. I’ve had health scares, friends of mine have died, people I know have tried to seriously injure or hurt me, and sometimes things just didn’t work out in my favor. Bad things happen to everyone, and in my case it wasn’t the events that were the challenge, but how I dealt with them. Looking back, I wasn’t dealing with the those situations in a healthy way.
