#MRKOAQUOTE
WORDS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE.
I still can't believe I am able to say I have my own book. A book!? This definitely was not in any of my plans, but to be honest a lot of things that happen in my life are rarely part of my plans. A few years ago, I went through a very tough time dealing with the deaths of some really close friends, a serious basketball injury, school and financial stress, and relationships with people. I decided to convert my thoughts and experiences into witty and blunt quotes that others could relate with, because I refused to believe I was the only person running into the type of foolishness that life was throwing at me. I would post a couple quotes each day on my social platforms pretty consistently until something special started to happen. I noticed I was gaining a following for my unfiltered approach to dealing with my problems, and it seemed like many others felt the same way as I did. The more I would post, the more people would respond, repost my quotes, and most surprisingly even message me directly. The personal stories and testimonies I received from total strangers was the real reason I decided to create this book. My vision was to create a timeless collection of words that could be digested continuously, in an attempt to silence life’s daily distractions. Welcome to #MRKOAQUOTE where what I say can either mean nothing at all to you, or can be exactly what you needed to hear. You can view a few of my favourites below.
