A recycle 

Life has been feelings repeating cycle, coming home from school, doing work, eating, and sleeping. These days constantly feel like a struggle moving forward. Being suffocated from the amount of school work I get; not even getting a second for myself. I’m starting to get tired easily, getting unmotivated to do anything, the worst part is a part of myself is slipping away. I know these gloomy days will fade, and I will feel like the happiest person again but for now, it feels like I’m numb. But these struggles will help me accomplish most in life, being able to overcome those obstacles that make me who I am. These thoughts… make me scared for the future which lies ahead of me, what will I do?

Special Moments 

During the break, I had many memorable moments. Many good memories were made with friends and family during this holiday season. I grew closer to family and friends. Spending time with my cousins, eating with them, going on walks with their pets, talking about life, and so much laughter filled the air made this break so special. I remember going out with my cousins after Christmas to get Seaside Donuts in Newport beach, although it was cold and gloomy, we had wholesome talks about life and laughter while waiting through the long lines. I have realized my family brings me such joy and I am very thankful that I have a healthy relationship with my family to enjoy this holiday season.

A home

I’m very fortunate to have a roof under my head and to have a close relationship with my family. My family and cousins are always so supportive about whatever I do. Since I am one of the youngest in the family and the rest are in their twenties, it feels nice to have that guidance, like having siblings. I look up to my oldest cousin Vivian a lot. She teaches me a lot of new things, gives me advice, helps me with homework, and best of all she is able to have fun. Hanging out with my family is fun, playing games, and laughing at each other’s stories. These people will always let me run back to my roots.

Why spending $500 on a concert worth it

In September, I had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see my favorite artist for the first time— Blackpink. I’ve been wanting to see them for over 3 years yet to see them up close but it costs’ a leg and a bank account. But to be honest, I’ll never be 15 years old again, being with friends and enjoying a concert with them. As we always say, money comes and goes but memories will always last forever. Who knows if they won’t come back and won’t be Blackpink again. And I won’t lie, seeing them up close was definitely worth it and I would do it again.
