Dear diary
I never knew life could be so good. I came from nothing, and in the blink of an eye, my life was turned around. I fell into the lifestyle of a street diva. When I met Khadafi, he showed me a way of life that I wasn’t accustomed to. I was the queen of the streets, and everybody knew my name. I was what every man wanted and every woman wanted to be. The streets showed me love, and I loved them back, but the same things that will make you laugh will eventually make you cry. Trips overseas, fast cars, and more diamonds than I could possibly wear was a day in the life. But all things come to an end, and my end came to soon. If I could turn back the hands of time…

Remy
