So far this year, I have spent most of my time speaking to God and creating art by writing poems to escape this current reality. I do have friends, but as I grow older, my circle of friends becomes smaller. Most of my time these days is spent increasing my knowledge and expanding my world , faith and artistry. I know the next chapter in my life will be better, filled with excellence and potency. Until then, I am putting in the work for a better future, putting God first.
