Trevor Gumbi: "The past haunts me"

Who knew that behind the funny faces and laughs, Trevor is quite a deep guy?

Maybe it's the hospital visit that got Trevor thinking? Or maybe it was the late night hour? But Trevor took to Instagram on Tuesday night to pour his heart and soul out to his friends and fans in an Insta-essay that got us really choked up.

We don't want to disturb the feel so here's what he wrote:

"I ain't nowhere near made it or achieved half the things I'm destined for.

Sometimes it seems like an unattainable goal and everything is against me.My past haunts me and tells me I don't deserve nice things in life, tells me that nobody will ever trust me again and that I'm not worthy, but, my will is strong, stubborn and resilient.

I know somehow, with God's help and the talents he's bestowed upon me, I will make it, I will regain the trust of those I've let down, that I am worth it.

I will make my momma proud. My kids will have a father and feel his love. I succeed cause I know I'm nothing without my lord and saviour. I succeed cause I'm hungrier than the rest and I've been hungry all my life. I succeed cause I've failed so often. "Even though you deserve it, doesn't mean they'll simply give it to you, sometimes you have to TAKE what's yours !"
