Our Side of the Story

“I remember thinking this was what I deserved, the devil boy with the red eyes. This was what I had coming to me for being different. It was only a matter of time before, as my father had predicted, I would encounter the cruelty the world held for me. David Bateman was just the person who would deliver the first blow.”

“There comes a time in every man’s life, when he stops looking forward and starts looking back.”

“We think we have control over our lives, especially when we’re young and seemingly invulnerable. We’re told we can do anything we set our minds to, that the world is our oyster, that all we have to do is shuck the hard shell and pluck the rich, nourishing meat inside. I realize now, however, that the shell is a lot harder than I appreciated, and that I never could have controlled or even predicted the things that would happen in my life. We believe we choose the paths we take when we come to those forks in our lives—the friends we make, the careers we undertake, the spouses we marry. But we don’t.”

Some excerpts I loved so far👇🏾

Yes I said this over two months ago and I’m well aware I apologize a lot but we’ll have our weekly episodes starting from next week. This new episode will focus on how we handle the relationships we have with people (either platonic or romantic), how much do we invest in the relationships, how much of their world are we willing to have in ours and so much more questions will try to be answered. Stay tuned and hit me with any ideas, issues or questions you’d like to be regarded in this episode. I hope you had a good day😊

•A song for every moon by Bruno Major. •Divinely uninspired to a hellish extent by Lewis Capaldi. •Because the Internet by Childish Gambino. •30 by Adele. These are my album recommendations for this week, enjoy and have a good night💜

⚠️Trigger warning⚠️ The following video includes graphic words, and triggering incidents. https://youtu.be/t3PA37erNYw

I have a soft spot for abuses of any sort especially child abuse, a single incident can determine a whole life. By any chance have you came across the case of the Menendez Brothers? If yes what’s your take also do you believe of their innocence? Let me know @DebbieTesfaye If no I’ll leave a link down below but some words and description could be too graphic and triggering.
