After every storm there appears a rainbow, that’s why I believe that you can still catch up.

On the 2nd of April 2003 an angel was born – that’s me! You were old enough to be a father, you were old enough to provide. You treated me like a princes and treated mama like a queen. What happened? I don’t know, things changed because you and mama started cheating on each other.

I’ll consider that none of my business because I was young. You failed me as an ambassador, but I am still your blood. The journey got tougher as I grew up. I was discriminated against, underestimated and despised. I was intimidated. You never saw the essence of building a relationship with me. But, why?

You never hesitated to put others first, but still I forgive you because who am I to judge you? You should have called, or at least visited. But still, my journey is a success. I am an obedient 17-year-old girl. I am conquering what’s mine, but not alone, with mom.

I believe that it is never too late to achieve something, but remember tomorrow might be too late. Remember that life is a journey, and if you want your life to be a magnificent story, then begin by realising that you are the author and every day you have the opportunity to write a new page.
