greeting to everyone reading this novel of mine, and hoping to have sense of teaching while reading it. I hope it meets you all in a good conditions.
I know I have just to be strong, and courageous to keep it together. but hope is never being lost.
Growing up right was my way but everyday was a test and there were a thousand ways to fail, a thousand way to betray yourself to not live up to someone else's standard of what was acceptable, and normal. And when you fail the test, which was guaranteed, there was a price to pay: Emotionally, Psychologically, and Physically more than once, in a variety of ways. I grew up in a survival mode which I focus on getting through the day in one piece. And in that mode at that aged, there isn't a lot of space for words like ( community, us, and we ) there's only space for I and Me.
That feelings of been singular, different and alone couldn't give me the chance to discuss it with anyone.
Then I decide to distance myself from people a while. One day, upon sitting under a tree I saw an eagle. I got this mentality through it that, eagles fly alone at high altitude,
eagles don't fly with sparrow, ravens and other small birds meaning staying away from narrow minded people, those that brings you down.
Eagles have vision that's by focusing on something as far as kilometers away no matter what the obstacles the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it.
These are what teaches me to have vision and focus on life.
Goodbye,
from baboucarr touray.
