Story of my life and why I write

Kgosi M. 9th, South Africa
I grew up in Soweto under bad financial circumstances.

I would watch my friends eat while crying on the inside because of hunger.

Will I sleep while crying? Will these circumstances change?

Asking myself questions not knowing the answers to.

That, was when my pen and paper met, and I made them dance.

Not to a known tune, but to a rhythm I created from scratch.

I did not have to do research on my craft, I just crafted it myself from the onset

The problem then became that I had to be studying or doing homework at that time.

But I was still putting together two, three stories.

I tried to distance myself from the pen,

But then I realized that having something so typical but yet special is actually a blessing in my life

I did not choose this life,
​
But what I am choosing is writing so I can showcase to the world my talent, writing so I can send messages of encouragement, joy and life lessons to the whole world.
