Those learning relationships are so important in life because they build character. Everything that I've been through in life, I'm grateful for...All the experiences contributed to becoming who I am today and I quite like this version of the woman I am because she is strong, she's a fighter, she honors truth, she's resilient, she's human after all so she feels all her emotions; every time, life has knocked her down, she picked herself up, dusted herself off, and started over. She never gives up.

Everything in life you once thought you wouldn't be able to go through, you eventually do and when you do, you stand a little taller and prouder.

A letter to my father from the most vulnerable place in my heart. Lately, he hasn't been keeping well. I've been spending many sleepless nights sobbing, overthinking, worrying about the inevitable. As an only child, my heart aches, in a world where I know nothing without my family where I grew up with so much affection and care, it's unfathomable pain. This letter came out as a product of unbearable pain and loneliness, in a world that I can't imagine without him.
