Everything Is Combustible

I was born at 8:15 PM, October 25, 1951, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

I would that all men understand this.

Knowing Thyself:

A dreamer who lost its passion and how she found a spark of hope

an autobiography

----- For once, I called myself a dreamer. A visionary. An idealist. An imaginative woman. It starts with a change of perception towards the world we're living in today. As someone who is fond of reading books, watching cartoons appropriate for my age, and observing the people around me, I know it is something that will shape me into a different person rather than just being someone who yearns to finish education or enjoy simple things in life.

----- Growing up in the slums, contemplating the vulnerable people in our community has driven me with so much passion to become a doctor. Specifically, a pediatrician. Children always have a special place in my heart. During my childhood, I tended to get sick, incurable with just a smear of vaporubs or consuming medicines. There's this one time I broke my el-bone (Yes. I use to refer to it that way because I find it kind of witty). Visiting the hospital became a daily routine. Before I was admitted to my own room, I laid alongside whining children. It pains me to see them suffering various illnesses, despite it being normal to happen to children.

----- Aside from patients being my friends, I became great pals with the doctors who always keep me in check every time they pay me a visit. I always thought they're awesome professionals. I find it cool whenever they consult their patients and write them prescriptions.

----- I can somehow picture myself doing the same thing hereafter. Ever since then, I would make scenarios in my room. Using my stuffed toys as the patients and me as the doctor. If there's anything that I should be thankful for, that is for having such supportive parents. They even customized a white coat and a name template for me. Wearing it feels like I'm already living in my dream. That's how I see the vision of my future. That's how I call myself 'a visionary'.

----- But just like they always say, in order for a dream to be achieved, you might have to encounter some hurdles that'll hinder the strongest desires in your life. I've reached the point where I can't sense any motivation to pursue things. When it felt like everything is just an infatuation. At the age of eight, the death of my father had a huge impact on me. As if the colors have faded and I can no longer see the light down the path towards my dream. I struggled to stand on my own feet. Still not able to fathom the fact that losing someone would send waves of unsaid emotions. It affected my performance in school. My marks have dropped and my thoughts have gone disoriented, unabling me to make wise decisions for myself.

----- During the challenging times 2020 has given us, I have seen enough of what people have gone through. It aided me to perceive the truth about living your life. We go through certain hardships. There's these phases in life where we get to experience the things that are least jovial; loss, downfall, and false hope.

----- I admit we get to feel things like that. I may have failed to see the ones who continue to support me. The ones I turned a blind eye on. In spite of the series of distress, life goes on. The pain will eventually leave as long as you find a way to help yourself. And I did. I conquered every fear, and walked through every obstacle I encounter. From this moment, looking back from what I've been through, I know I have no other reason to give up. I guess I get to call myself a dreamer of yesterday, and still a dreamer today, tomorrow, and always.

Son of Escobar by Roberto Sendoya Escobar

An elaborate hoax or an unbelievable tale? #bookreview #pabloescobar #RobertoSendoyaEscobar

1/5 stars.ebook, 184 pages.Read from December 26, 2020 to December 31, 2020. This book was a selection for my book club. Normally, the beauty of book clubs is reading books that you wouldn’t have read and most of the time that’s a good thing, this time, however, it was not. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably know the name, Pablo Escobar. You know, the biggest drug lord in…

Finished reading #ChasingSpace, the autobiography of @lelandmelvin aloud to the kids over the past two weeks. It was so great and the kids loved it! Also, he spoke about the things he has faced as a Black man, and how incredible it was to have the first TWO African-Americans on the International Space Station at the same time. It was a perfect story to go with the other books I’ve started reading the boys to teach them more about the Black community, not to mention to really foster their love of science and space. Thank you for sharing this story, Mr. Melvin. #autobigraphy #blacklivesmatter #astronaut @NASA #hoopla https://www.instagram.com/p/CCe7n0CFrzzvdQZhVirlqbOP7Fag8OSdgljMMY0/?igshid=ednh4laff4jk
