With Or Without You

So many times, I ask myself, “Why do I love you?”

I love you, for all the things you were then and now.

I love you, for all the good and bad.

I love you, when you were young and even now older.

I love you, when you are here and even when you are not.

I love you, for all the wonders of life you taught me.

I love you, for your empathetic nature and your gentle smile.

I love you, for all the sacrifices that made me the woman I am today.

With or without you here, I still love you.

I love you mom, because you are my forever superhero.

I Am Not Perfect

I Am Not Perfect

 I am here.

See the real me inside.

An Asian American girl that matured through the looking glass of this chaotic society.

I ask not to be judged by the color of my skin, my hair, my eyes, or even the shape of my body.

I ask to be treated with respect and dignity as a human being.

I am full of optimism and love for life.

I am not perfect.

Look inside my soul.

You shall find a woman that has survived bias, discrimination, betrayal, and heartbreak.

I cry many times in the dark with my lonely tears of disappointment.

Still, I rise each time.

I come back as strong-willed, relentless, and with perseverance to face society again.

I am not perfect.

Sunflowers

  • Symbolism: Positivity, Adoration, Strength, Loyalty, and Longevity.
  • Annual and Perennial (Dependent on type)
  • Great cutting flowers for floral arrangements or to simply enjoy in your garden
  • Seeds germinate easily (99 % successful rate)
  • Sow directly on ground during the months of September – December to produce spring flowers. ( I live in Plant Hardiness Zone 9 (California, with mild winters)
  • Spacing 6-12 inches apart and 1 inch in depth. Preferably multiple rows, if your garden allows it to create a beautiful uniform visual effect.
  • After flower dies, dried seeds are visible for picking from head and could be saved for next year planting.

Who Am I?

Who am I?

I am “me, myself and I”.

These three form a bond that is hidden inside.

Sometimes they are invisible to others, but still a part of who I am.

The “me” is the cognitive and emotional intelligence.

The “myself” is the heart that has unlimited wants and desires.

The “I” is the ego that seeks praise and rewards.

Who am I?

I am a human being that exists on this earth to find a purpose and happiness.

Know Your Power

If you seek a hero, look within yourself.

Know your power.

You are capable of great things.

Know your  power.

If you seek peace and the truth, steer away from negative people.

Know your power to find inner peace.
