# Friends

 For each of my best friends, I’ve had a cute or silly way I met each of them, and always found out that we be friends instantly. I would recite the story a few years later, with a grin. But sometimes, you do not have a funny story or a sweet way you met your best friend. For Brey, I don’t. I k...

Afifa, You came into my life in the darkest hour. When my heart had broken into pieces, my dreams had flown away, and I was ready to die. I was trapped in a gravy tunnel with blind ends. I didn’t know where to go. I didn’t know what to do. I lost the track of my time and my soul. I was stuck i...
