| Back to RealityAs summer come close to an end...i realized i have to shake myself back into reality. After traveling this summer and finally being able to relax without doing anything too mentally draining, suddenly i find it hard to get back into busy bee mode. Don't get me wrong, i am extremely excited to go back to school, knowing me of course i have ordered my books and already started reading the first chapter. Such a NERD!!!! But the travels from this summer made me realize couple of things: 1. Traveling if awesome!!! My cancun trip was like a baby being tossed into a huge candy store with out restrictions. The ability to explore, try, and indulge. 2. My relationship with my boyfriend is one of a kind. A love with trust, honesty, fun, and most of all respect. I am so blessed to find someone that is my soulmate. I hate to use that word but there is no other way to describe him. I love this man with all my heart! 3. Family is so important. We might say those words but many of us does not follow through. Living in such an americanized/english society we are taught to be individualist, fighting for ourselves. But in reality, no matter what nation we live in our skin helps partly determine our paths. As yellow skin, we are not individualist, our actions reflect and affects our family. As i start to venture into this individualist world, i have learned to love what my parents have taught me. "Yellow skins are communal people, we live, play, work, succeed, for the people around us. Our dedication and obligations in life is not just for ourselves but for our ancestors, grandparents, parents, aunt, uncles, sisters, brothers, and our future family." 4. Learn to love and accept your family, for the good and bad. |
