RAIN AFTER RAIN
"Hey Vic!" That was Kunle hailing me as I entered into the Confrence hall of Dynamo Hotel and Suite, where my set were having our first ever reunion. Just like everyone else in the building, I was gay with happiness. You wouldn't blame us though as its been over 12 years since majority of us last saw ourselves. Here we are today all almost made for life, save for me actually. I guess life has always had a reason to single me out to be unfortunate.

Growing Stronger
I woke up to a bright and sunny morning and felt a knot in my stomach. I was crushed at that point because it was the day of my final exams for the year. I'd been depressed for a few weeks, and the thought of failing my exams only made me feel more stressed. Hoping for the best and dreading the worst, I dressed, ate breakfast, and headed to school.

Small Moments, Big Impact
One small moment in my life that had a big impact on me happened when I was in my early twenties. I was working as a server in a busy restaurant in a trendy part of town. One day, I had a customer who stood out to me. She was a woman in her late forties or early fifties, dressed in a stylish outfit with a sleek haircut. She was dining alone, and as I approached her table to take her order, I noticed that she was reading a book. I couldn't quite make out the title, but it was a hardcover with a striking cover design.

Reptile Brain
For some of you living in the really big urban centres; New York, Delhi, Tel Aviv, London, this might seem a bit strange but please keep in mind that I’m talking about a slightly different, smaller but still urban experience. In a place like Hamilton, Ontario, a larger medium-sized city if you can make any sense of that, growing up in the 1970s meant relatively little exposure to open street crime. Therefore, his actions came as a shock to the fourteen-year-old me. I was very young and inexperienced, so I’ll excuse myself with that reasoning.

The Feeling
Sometimes life has a funny way of showing you the path you are supposed to be on. It can come when you least expect it, and sometimes, you may not even realise it has happened. For me, it came at a time when I needed it most.

The Small Moment That Changed My Life Forever
I still vividly remember the warm summer afternoon over a decade ago. I had just finished a long day at work, and I was walking home from the subway station lost in my thoughts. As I was lost in my own world, my attention was suddenly drawn to an elderly woman who was struggling to carry her groceries up the stairs to her apartment.
