OBEHI VESSEL A.And, when it comes to counting our blessings; we humans are all bad at math.
OBEHI VESSEL A.Patience is not the ability to wait. It is, how we wait; an attitude so unruffled, that none can tell if we’re waiting or not.
OBEHI VESSEL A.I no longer ask humans, for a definition of love. For, they tend to force on her, the traits of those who have either treated them well or not at all.
OBEHI VESSEL A.We were purple, one day, we felt whole the next day split apart into red and blue.
