My favourite author Michelle Borquez in her book Overcoming The Seven Deadly Emotions (2009) reveals how those who had bad experiences in their lives will struggle with confusion and thinking, because their brains had a pleasurable experience in a twisted way and in this story we meet Christopher who spent most of his life away from his parents and never could express love in a way that doesn’t place him in a path of distraction.

The driven spirit to strive for his needs is controlling him but he is unaware of this, he looks like the type of person who lives in the moment but he is running away from his past so hard that it is so far for him to go back and figure out the root cause of his needs.

On the other hand we meet Naledi who shows acceptance of her struggles. Her only weakness is her belief that everyone has a strong will to overcome and embrace their challenges with self-determination.

She sees through Christopher, his strength and weakness and start to believe something good can come out of him and decides to give him a chance. She knew nobody is perfect.

Some might say her actions were driven by her own ambition to build a family of her own.

Because she is a smart girl she knew that in life you receive things raw and you cultivate them into whatever you want them to be (if you haven’t noticed, this is a girl that thinks 10 years prior her timeframe).

But is the a such thing as being “too ambitious”? She is obsessed with fulfilling her dreams and at times it just seems like Christopher is being dragged along.

One of the things that inspire me as the writer as the story continues is how the main characters are using their past and present moments to build their future and how one of them is aware of this and the other one is not.

Emotions play a vital role in their choices.

This whole journey becomes detrimental to them because it occurs in place and a time in their lives where they both have to start making decisions and choices that can either make or break them because this was their last year of high school (As one preacher calls it “The Discovery Years”).

They also have to deal with the doubts and insecurities that creep in through their foundation and learn to manage them in order to stay sane and protect their love for each other with hopes that it will save them from the burdens they have been carrying their whole lives.
