SUNDAY
PACT WITH THE DEVIL
Full of anger, hatred, grudges with a
double personality – that’s how to best
describe the Emiliano I was before.
Growing up without my father brought
so much hate within me for him. I never
knew what it was like to have a fatherfigure around.
I used to see a relative
around a lot of men and
she would rob them and
use them. I looked up to
her and so I followed
in her footsteps. It all
started when I put up
my picture on a ‘hot boy’
page site and before I
knew it, I had girls after

can get out of this type of
lifestyle, and happiness
isn’t one of them. I wanted
happiness and this life
couldn’t give it to me.
When I was invited to the UCKG Help
Centre and joined the YPG (Youth Power
Group), I understood how to truly find
happiness. I found this in God, a happiness
that isn’t temporary for a couple of years
but a lifetime.
