"No doubt about it - you're like a superstar, but sometimes you're holding yourself back," my father spoke with unwavering conviction, his voice carrying the weight of a thousand burdens.

I responded, my eyes burning with determination, "I'm gonna own my dark side, I won't let my past drag me down."

With our shared sentiments, together we embarked upon a new chapter, where the tapestry of our bond flourished and natured my intellectual growth. Adorned with an insight, my father, and embodiment of wisdom and compassion, imparted upon me the values of perseverance and resilience.

I chose to leave the confining walls of the educational system in grade eleven, not because I lacked intelligence or ambition, but because the conventional schooling failed to teach me what I truly desired. I yearned to wake up every morning next to different women with a different names, endlessly craving my presence, driven by a fervent desire to forge a path of my own, one that defied societal expectations and limitations.
