It’s 1 am and I’m up on my bed, sleep has disappeared from my eyes again. This is the third time in a row that I’m up at midnight and can’t seem to go back to sleep. I started having flashbacks of my life as a kid, the first memory that came to my mind was an exciting one, it was when my mum got me a bicycle as a surprise gift. She had just returned from a long journey and I was at home helping...
Life is a journey filled with peaks and valleys, triumphs and tribulations. Some days, the sun shines brightly, and everything falls into place seamlessly.
