A Walk Through Life - by Antoine Kidd (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

You know that moment when you just sit back and think about life and say to yourself, "where would I be right now if I would've made different decisions in my past? If I would've made a right turn instead of a left, where would I be standing right now? If I would've driven just a little bit slower and actually enjoyed the trip I was taking? That moment when someone told me not to do something and I did it anyway." Should you regret some of the things you've done in your life? Maybe if you wouldn't have done those things, your life would be better, maybe even worse. We've all done things in our past that we aren't proud of, but we just have to move past those things and continue forward. Sometimes it's the small things that affect your life in a major way and the big things may have no effect at all. Should you tip toe through life, remaining cautious at every turn you make? Or should you put the pedal to the metal and roll over every speed bump you encounter. Take a second to think. If you had the choice to change your past, what would you change? Would you change the way you reacted to someone who disrespected you? How different do you think the outcome would be? Would that one moment of retaliation be worth all of the trouble it may cause? All in all, It's not about where you come from, but where you want to go. Never be a product of your environment. If you believe in god, I don't think he wants you to fail in life. Just think about all the things that you go through and make it out of with no problems. He has a plan for everyone, and they are all different. He doesn't have a plan for anyone to fall and never get back up. Just trust and believe in yourself and know you can accomplish great things. Never belittle yourself and say what you can't do. Never say you regret the decisions that you've made in your life and never say you wish you could turn back the hands of time. There is nothing wrong with your life, you just have to gra

About the Author

Antoine Maurice Kidd is an African American author, born August 3, 1991 in Mobile, Alabama. He specializes in poetry and novel writing. Antoine has always been a creative thinker. In elementary school, he was known for finishing his class work fast, so that he may pull out his notebook to write short stories. When he was in the fifth grade, he got in trouble for writing a short story that included vulgar language. His teacher took his notebook and called his parents. She explained to them that their son was in time-out due to his writings being inappropriate for a child his age. While he did not get in trouble by his parents, he began to keep his writings secret. Once he made it to middle school, he moved in with his aunt and uncle, where he was introduced to making music by one of his cousins. While his cousin practiced with instruments, he sat in the background writing poetic lyrics to the sounds. He had found a new love. By the time Antoine made it to high school, his writing skills were exceptionally good. His poetry caught the eyes of many of his teachers and he was urged to create a scrapbook full of poems. He began taking drama as a senior and his teacher allowed him to help rewrite two school plays. This is where Antoine dove deeper into the realm of story telling.
