     The thing with dreams is, they are bigger than what we have and greater than our current capability or circumstance. The dream series is a collection of basically everything I intend to do and a means of offering you an insight into who I am and why I do the things I do. Starting this series is an act of faith because writing it down makes it more than just a mere thought in my head and it becomes hopefully a source of inspiration to you. I have always had dreams of grandeur and more than anything, I dream of saving people and changing lives which is why I am starting the dream series with my biggest dream yet. BUILDING A PATCH OF HEAVEN      I have been shaped by the experiences I went through growing up and for so long I was a misfit, misunderstood and even if I tried my best to deal with the cards dealt to me, it has not been a smooth or straight forward journey.

I believed for quite a while that I was not permitted to speak or more like I was scared of speaking up because there is so much I didn't know and I didn't want to make a mistake. I was trying to play it safe, in order not to bring attention to myself. I know now that is an invalid excuse. I can't keep silent any longer, I need to let you know that humanity is lost. Humans you see are products of choice; those we make and the aftermath of the choices others make. The thing is we have been making a whole lot of wrong choices because it has caused more harm than good to fellow humans. I have seen and learnt through history how inhumane we can be.
