ALABUKUN POWDER AND A CHILDHOOD MEMORY

They said to me: if I insulted anyone again, I would die instantly.

I lost my confidence, and it took quite a while to get it back.

I called family and friends and told them, “I don’t think I can do this.”

At a point, it felt like a lot.

I simply lay there, waiting for whatever would happen next.

Here, nothing works the way it should: not the training, not the practice, not the care.

I started asking myself questions: “Am I even intelligent enough to be here?”

It’s the usual, but I’m not fine. I’m falling apart.

It’s not all butterflies and roses, even for the best of us.
