JAI ON EARTH Discovering Our Planet

May he rest peacefully. And his family learns to mend and love again.

There are several reasons why I did not want to write anything about Kobe Bryant, including the fact that my confidence in the Lord is far stronger than any media, lawyer, or spectator can fathom.

I have some pretty excellent reasons for why I questioned who my father was. And when some people see or talk about Kobe, their minds are in the gutter. Most people need to learn to respect the deceased. This man cheated on his wife more than 100 times, and to think he didn’t have any other daughters floating around the world is ridiculous.

But I do know he deserves to rest. He was a legend who changed the way we approach sports and basketball. The genuineness of his mamba mindset is what keeps us engaged.

When I first started working private unarmed security, I had the opportunity to be on a team that protected this legend, which was incredible. I think there are open spaces in my heart that link to portions of my life that don’t make sense. Like where I’m going, how i’m growing, and evolving fills me with excitement. But there are also feelings of grief since; “You are what you are not and are not what you are”. 

My life is fantastic! I sincerely think, deep down in my heart, that I am meant for greatness because my narrative has already been written, and I will know what I am supposed to know and learn what I do not know. Life is lovely in so many ways, and on this day, I pay my respects to the dead, and I pray Kobe Bryant rests in peace.

Man, I simply hope that one day, I can uncover my treasure from you.
