Fade

This is not how young men are supposed to go. We lose them to war, we lose them to the lure of emigration but we never expect to lose them this way. Rest in peace bro, I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch much after law school. :(

Insecurities

Sometimes we doubt ourselves.

Am I cut out for this. Am I brilliant enough. Am I talented enough. Do I have what it takes. Why am I so farking tired all the time.

A mentor said to me: "I am certain you are capable of better"

A fellow litigator and dear friend said to me: "tenacity is the most important attribute of a litigator, not how smart the person is. the ability to be organised and analyse things, and a certain gumption to stay on course even when the odds are against you. strength of character."

A doctor and confidante said to me: "your health is important"


At 2 a.m. not knowing the answers to the multitude of issues - No one said it was going to be easy, but roll over and die i will NOT.

Defiance

Over the weekend i read some articles in various magazines about chasing dreams, entrepreneurs quitting their lawyering/finance/corporate life to pursue what they feel strongly in life. I thought to myself, what happened for my passion for lomography, my obsession with the aviation industry, my love for music? Smothered. Work and family/friends have become so all-consuming that some days (or rather, early mornings after midnight) the only thing I look forward to is the bed I sleep in. Yes, everything is a choice, and I chose many moons ago to do this, but time and again I have to remind myself why I am here doing this when i can be anywhere else in the world doing what I love. No grudges, just an undeniable need to justify, mostly to myself, that this is worth it.

Lights

I sense a calling, but I give myself [. ] amount of time to consider it.

Intervention

How many times was I ready to throw it all away, and to give it all up, before divine intervention came at the last minute to rescue me from myself, my propensity to let it go to waste and slip away

London

London holds a special significance for a man of Christian faith, a boy fed on a diet of English literature and a student of the British common-law model. Coming here is like being able to put a face to a name, a substance to a form, and a manifestation to a belief.
