I CAN NEVER BE MAD AGAIN
A tale of rugged resolve; an unrelenting aspiration to survive the turbulence of life. To demand one’s portion of destiny’s cake and not settle for less. If it meant haggling with life like a charging, raging bull at the sight of red in a sports arena then so be it. For me, travelling the path of least resistance was never in the cards to begin with and so I managed to meander my way amidst colossal obstacles and destiny-threatening blockages to arrive at my God-ordained destination. I have survived the un-survivable and not only that; bulldozed my way to the top of the food chain as I could not afford to become the prey
