When I was growing up, I thought I could do anything. Nothing will stop me. While I still do think I can do anything, the nothing now has become a lot of things. And that fight to stay afloat is one tedious journey. Truth to be told, I am tired. But the need to make things happen, to push my loved ones above the threading water, I know I can't stop. Though I wish sometimes, it is a tad easier.

To my (not-so)little man,

There's nothing in this world, Akak wouldn't do for you. But you need to realised that you are fast growing up into a man. You need to learn that while all these thing you are doing now may mean nothing much to you, its reprecussion are great. I don't want the words of " I regret" to haunt your life. I have taught you to never have regret. Push for what you want in life. Continue being the sweet friendly boy that you are but enrich your life with success,courage and intelligence. But never forget humility. You are only who you are because of the people who love you.Be responsible. Be confident. Acknowledge that you can do anything you set your mind to. I won't lie to you, the journey is very tiresome and a stab to the heart sometimes,but just know that it is possible. I still keep my desires and dreams alive and I hope nothing will extinguish yours too. Be good and do good unto others.Remember, life is too precious to be wasted.
