Onward EP by Kwame Universe

When I think about how my life was going to pan out. Where I am now never quite made it into the shotlist. I was supposed to graduate from university holding a degree in law. And was probably going to find a kickass job somewhere nice that paid me well enough to surround myself with all the things I want.

What happened was that I did graduate (barely) with that degree but the reality I came out to meet couldn’t have been further from the dreams I had as a child. I was depressed, I was an addict. I was ungrateful and I wasted a lot of that time away. I dealt with suicidal feelings addiction as I unearthed a lot of trauma that I had to face, process, and worth through in order. I also held on to a lot of unhealthy behaviors and relationships. Never mind the fact that I don't want to be a lawyer anymore. I just want to live.

In the full sense of the word.

I am still trying to fully embrace what that word means.
That’s why the project isn’t supposed to make you feel like I’ve figured everything out. I’m still on my way.

And you’re welcome to join me.

Currently based somewhere in the theatre of dreams.

Please don't wake me up.
