Uhuru had finally made a decision. She was going to leave everybody and even what she thought defined her in search of something she did not know of. The ‘something” was not clear at that particular moment. Her decision was sudden, she did not think it thoroughly, but it seemed to be the best decision she had made in months. She knew what her friends and family would say, but she didn’t care because the peace that came with the decision went far and above reason.
Her life was filled with so much resentment and misery. She lived with it. She hated her closets friends Anger and Bitterness, yet somehow they managed to be her reason for living, even though they ate at her everyday. She woke up to them sitting at her bedside every morning to greet her with a smile. They filled her home, they were dark and cold. When she faced the world, they were her protection, a wall that never allowed anyone in, never allowed anyone to hurt her, again.

But for the first time in weeks, she made a decision based on her, not her family or friends. She felt a sense of control of her life again and liked it.
