I keep thinking to myself and talking to myself, asking, “Me boy? I get robbed? The one who always keeping to myself, who never gets in anyone’s way, who always encouraging brothers that crime isn’t the way and trying to be an example to show that don’t matter who you are or where you come from you can achieve anything? Me boy me? The thing about it is no one is exempted from it we are all at risk, regardless of where you’re from, whom you know or what you do. I admit, more than being robbed I feel cheated because maybe somehow in my naïve thinking I felt like it wouldn’t have happen to me but I don’t think like that anymore. Maybe if I was “outta zone” it would have been easier to accept but seeing that I born and grew up in Picton/Laventille and I have been on Picton taxi stand all the days of my life it has been a bit hard for me to swallow. Even if NOW they say they didn’t realize it was me doesn’t matter because if Ren wasn’t there I may have retaliated and may not be here to type this post. Then half of the things I wanted to do would have been undone and then Jay would be fatherless and so many other things that burn my fingers to even type. I still find it in my heart to forgive them as I continue to urge my brothers turn away from crime. Trust me if I can make something of myself anybody can. The flip side to it is that crime is our reality now, every one of us regardless if we are willing to accept it or not, it is. Do what you need to do to safeguard yourself and your loved ones and most of all pray and make God a part of every single thing you do. After all is said and done I am grateful for life and thankful to God for his mercies but honestly I think this has changed me and it isn’t all for the better. As I said before if you know my story you will understand. I am always the humble one, always the understanding one, always the one to step back and let others shine, always the one to put others before self, always the first one to turn the other cheek, always the one to give the most and accept the least in return for it, etc and I honestly know that bit of me is no more because in the end everyone out here is just looking out for themselves and looking out for what benefits them without caring about who or what they harm in the process. Trust me I have been on the end of the one being harmed long enough. There comes a time in life when YOU too must do what is best for YOU and when you start thinking of yourself differently things will change drastically. The people who walked all over you before would not like when you take charge of your destiny and don’t allow them to take advantage of you anymore. Don’t allow that to affect your thrust forward and like me I am urging you to do what’s best for you. Work hard, put God first, eliminate procrastination and stop making excuses for yourself and everyday you will get one step closer to your destiny… All the best for 2015!!!
