My interview with Morenike of Vanguard

What are some of your regrets for 2010 was one striking questions Morenike asked me on saturday.
I was quiet for a few seconds,i repeated the question and all of a sudden i felt so unhappy and a little blue.
Maybe i hadnt ever thought of it or maybe thats all i have been trying not to think about.
The fact that my spiritual life had suffered a great deal in my pursuit for success coupled with the fact that i sometimes wake up wondering why i have to work so hard and still havent found my name in forbes. Thats just a joke but seriouly i had neglected the one person who meant everything God, and all i found was emptiness.I had another birthday on the 7th of this month and celebrating with the female inmates at the Kirikiri maximum prison didnt seem to make me feel as fulfilled as i expected.why?
I feel so alone sometimes,its funny how you can be surrounded by millions of people and not be connected to even 1 sometimes. Have you ever felt like this?
Have you put in so much and yet get a query for none peformance? Have you gotten a quit notice on your wedding day? Its depressing but there are lots of people out there wearing plastic smiles.
