Do you ever look around and wonder where time has gone? You wonder how did I get so old? and wonder what happened to your dreams, did they happen yet? and if they have happened, yay, I am so glad for you. And I hope you are happy. Are you happy though?

Just like the astronaut, floated out in space, surrounded by the endless darkness and silence of the cosmos, so was I, on this fateful day, lost in thoughts, thinking about my life, how I will make mama proud, what have I not done to be successful yet it looks as though life is not fair to me, how will I eventually be a man and a man of my woman’s dream, series of pictures flying through...
