Learning from my mistakes
LEARNING FROM MY MISTAKES.
As a young girl, I grew up in a loving family; a Christian family and my parents ensured that we all grew up in a God fearing way, making sure that we learned how to pray and read the bible every day. They ensured that we had good education and that we grew up in a stable and happy home where we lacked nothing basic…but my spirit of adventure and freedom wanted more, I felt like a prisoner staying at home with all the rules and curfews; I wanted to be like a bird, to be left to fly alone.
Immediately when I completed high school, I left home to go to college in the city and just after my college I made up my mind never to go back home but to stay in the city and make my own life.

The news came to us both as a surprise but we decided to make a future together and take care of the baby that was growing inside me. Little did I know that these were just my plans, Kelly had other plans, and a future with me is what he did not anticipate for.
All this while, Kelly was cheating on me and I found this out when one day I came home from work earlier than usual after a show I was supposed to shoot was canceled and when I knocked on the door, I was met by a strange woman who by the look of things, she was ready to
