“As a believer of God, I have had many questions about my pre-creation. Since there are little answers about our existence before birth, I succumbed to the vulnerability of the unknown, allowing in-depth wisdom to overwhelm my conscious mind. If I wish another form, or if another was best for me, maybe God would have given.

The big question comes: Why were we born in the area and by the people that birthed us? Who makes these decisions for a child of innocence? Indeed, man is a victim of the unknown, a product of a story untold. It is no point to deny that God puts us where he wants, chooses our parents, tribe, clan, land.

The aim lies with man to find the purpose of his creation in the land he never chose. Indeed, there is a reason for those who seek.”
