"Welcome Back To Paradise" Hardship   How long will it take, for this glass ceiling to break. 22 became 23 years. How much more blood, sweat and tears must I shed? Each night, hardship, is my bed, where I  lay my head. Each day hardship is my path. I endure pain. I do not cry. Instead I laugh. A life of, hardship, to some, is considered a curse, but to me it is a  blessing   in disguise… Hardship presents me with a challenge an each, time I over come a challenge, I learn and grow.
