Bare

I want to live my life as if there were no limits. No boundaries to tell me what I am capable of doing. I want to live my life as if I were full of all resources that are supposedly needed. I wish I had the guts to just go into the wild.

In this world of calamity..

I feel that America is excessive. From cars to towels to even paper towels. Everything is huge but I would much rather prefer the American lifestyle. We work hard, we play hard and it works out. A man asked my mom if her life is successful in America. She replied with, "You're always working hard." It makes sense. The American dream is something that everyone is curious about if they are not part of it. It isn't all the glitz and glamor that is portrayed but if you work hard you can afford to do what you like. Seeing my mom in her home country I would guess that she misses it, but she much rather prefers the American lifestyle despite all the stress and pain. I believe she is the hardest working woman and the most strong willed. Back in the day she always said we were going to go back to Korea. Thank goodness we didn't. I love America and almost everything about it but I am glad that I have a culture and something more to grow from. There are two sides to every story and that is my life exactly. I have two cultures that I can grow from and I find that amazing. It makes my mind bigger and I am more open of a person. I used to always hate being different but I now see it as a gift rather than a curse. I thank my mom for being the woman that she is and introducing me to a world that can help make me who I am. My parents are incredible people. They learned to grow and adapt in a new world. You can be successful but it comes with hard work.
