Losing some great people this year such as Pele, one of football&#8217;s legends, he\u2019s a great athlete and human being. I remember when people around my way use to speak about football and going to practice in the savanna on a Friday evening. I&#8217;m sure most already knew about his condition before the news hit us all about his passing.<br \/>\nThe transition of the year made another life changing experience that made all the difference between seeing a very different vision along the path and seeing the darkness from the inside out. Everyday walking through this great city the things you encounter and learn from both sides of the table tells very different stories.<br \/>\nSome of those stories are not nice and some are exciting, still recovering from lockdowns in every walk of life, there are still many that seems to hold onto emptiness and not move forward.
