“I hope that you take this with you in your future endeavors. Write, as you have, and keep writing. I guess that has always been my motive for this… to encourage you to keep doing what you absolutely love to do. Wherever our future takes us, I always hope to see you at the end of success. Just remember… write about it! Please!”
‘Trust in ventilation is a promised escape.’ Always.
Luhya,
Tin and Jamie.
Two of my best friends— out of the three brown skinned beauties— bought me this journal for my 21st birthday with my pen name engraved onto the cover, Ventilated. A pen name that I have used since I was 13 years old. The present nearly brought tears to my eyes, because the engraving and leather-bound journal itself possesses so much significance. I am unconditionally grateful for such an emotional and heartfelt gift. Thank you so much Jamie and Tin. I promise to commit my thoughts to these pages with my struggles, experiences, and poetic justices.

Despite my tonsillitis, I at least was able to watch both championship games with Mommy Majesty and the family here at home. And though my 49ers lost— due to petty and ridiculous mistakes by a certain player— I’ll always be fully faithful and proud of them. Gold blooded and SF since diapers, man. Next year is ours!
