I am loving reading these creative nonfiction stories about people's lives, and their defining moments. You must be so thankful that you had that moment of harsh reality. Maybe you were ready for it. Maybe it could have been anything, but the timing of the goat meat was just perfect. But you woke up and found your way again. Can you imagine who you would be now if you didn't?
Honestly, it would have been bad for me today if I had continued with such lifestyle. Some of those my friends were stuck in it and today, you can't but pity the kind of life they are living.
