A BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE

Everything you do comes at a cost. Everything you do takes time away towards doing something else.

Sometimes, it’s hard to let go. It’s hard to just be willing to leave the past behind.

The more focused you are, the more attentive you are, the fuller your life will become.

Ideally, every day would be beautiful, perfect, and unadulterated. But, of course, no life is ideal.

We are all tools. And we all have it within us to provide some sort of insight or wisdom or value to this society that we live in.

This year, I would like to think and reflect a little bit to myself about what it entails to be Asian in America.

It’s important not to just forgive others, but to forgive yourself for your transgressions as well.

It’s important to grasp your time. And to appreciate every second that you have on this planet.

Realize that we are all living in this world together trying to make a difference and leave a positive impact.

When you have a struggle and ultimately beat it, it really gives you some perspective.

I feel like I am going in circles with my analysis. But the world is fluid. It is ever changing.

We are imperfect creatures. It’s just not feasible to feel happy-go-lucky all of the time.
