Stop taking everything for granted.

I will never forget how fortunate I am to pursue an education at a top-tier university when my mother never had the chance and my sister gave up her chance to take care of my brother and I.

I will stop thinking about how unlucky I am and instead think about how lucky I am to be here at Berkeley, in my last year. How lucky I am to be 20 years old pursuing my career without any interruptions. How lucky I am to inherit my mom and sister’s headstrong willfulness to succeed and how it fuels me to work full-time and go to school full-time. How lucky I am to have two great siblings who would support me no matter what I decide to do.

I will stop taking my life for granted. Life has its ups and downs and I need to roll with the punches. I know that life is stressful but everyone stresses. There are so many other people struggling with harder circumstances. I need to stop letting everything bog me down and instead let it encourage me to work harder.

Because I’m almost there. I can see that my mom’s and sister’s sacrifices weren’t wasted, that all our hard work and efforts are finally culminating to form this picture. May 2017, I will walk across that stage and get my diploma. I will have gotten into grad school. I will have succeeded and will be looking forward to my next challenge in life.

I am so lucky.

She’s on the move searching for her purpose in life. A lost soul and she doesn’t even know it yet. She just wants to be seen. She’s there but you don’t see her. She’s the black sheep away from the herd. She just wants to be heard. You’re listening but you don’t hear her. You wouldn’t know the tears she cries inside from the battles she has to fight to get those demons off her back. They’re coming for her but she’s calling out to heaven. Is this it for me she cries. She’s trying to hold on but those demons are calling. Then she gets a whisper from an angel. Don’t let go. She holds on. She’s strong. She’s always had to be for herself, for everyone else. There was never anyone to show her how to be. She had to learn on her own because she had to grow up fast. She’s quiet, she’s shy, yeah that’s what they say. She just knows a thing or two about trusting the wrong people. She braces herself then licks her wounds no one sees because she’s become a pro at hiding her pain. But she’s strong so she’ll be alright. She just keeps moving forward one step at a time. She walks along her path so gracefully. Humble, she sees the bigger picture. There she goes. You should see her. She’s so beautiful. On the move, on the search, for something deeper in life.

Spent a sick day with these wonderful companions and now I have that heady “just finished a book that has aged me thirty years” feeling going on. Highly recommend this novel and so does little Pinto.
