I did what I was supposed to.  Young black boy who excelled in school, got multiple degrees, traveled to foreign countries, worked in the big city, moved back home and even started my own business.  I became a teacher, became a politician, and made a difference in my community too. All of this before I turned 25 years old.

But now that I'm officially 25, I still feel stuck. While in my small southern hometown, I was aiming so high to one day owning the commercial property of my dreams  and launching my successful home based-business, finally outside of the house that I hoped would soon grow world-wide.  But instead, I took a good paying job in New York City (again) and now I don't know if I made the right decision. I'm no longer a sole-proprietor, I now have a full-time employer. 

As I sit here experiencing a lonely New York Christmas, my first time away from family, I can't help but ask myself many questions.  Have I been praying hard enough? Can I balance New York City and still pursue my entrepreneurial goals?  Am I in over my head?  Did I clock out on my dream? 

These are some tough questions to answer but I'm willing to keep trying.   If anybody can do it, I know I can.

82 parts Ongoing

When the truth comes out, there's nowhere left to run. Season 3 of Eliona's War *** When Seth received a new virtual reality video game from his uncle, he wasn't expecting to get swept up into a whole new world called Eliona. As it turned out, Eliona and its people are far more dangerous than Seth could ever have imagined. There is a real consequence to playing this game: it's changing him, and it might not be for the better. Now that Seth/Severance knows the truth of Eliona, there's no going back. Eliona is dying, and in order to save it, he needs to beat a very difficult dungeon before anyone else does. And on Earth, things are even worse. It's come to light that Eliona is leaving a mark on its players, and suddenly, everyone wants to be involved. Players find themselves with a target on their back, and Seth? He might just have the biggest one of all. Too bad for them, he's done running. *** Weekly updates on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wait & read for free, or unlock with coins-the choice is yours!
