Love Our Planet

Love our planet, earth.

A place we call, home.

It provides us with the basic needs of oxygen, water and other necessities to survive.

Take care of our home because with tremendous wear and tear, it will slowly rot to its core.

Love our planet.

Take care of our home.

All plants, animals, and humans will have to bear the unspeakable natural disasters, if we neglect our home.

Beautify our home with more love.

Plant more trees and flowers.

Save and provide more eco-friendly homes to the animals.

Reuse and recycle what we take from the earth.

Give back and volunteer to the communities that gave us hope and joy.

Love our planet.

My Little Sunshine

Seconds become minutes..

Hours become days…

Days become years…

Time will not matter as long as you are by my side.

You will always be the person to light my path.

You will be my little sunshine even when the world cast gloomy clouds and rain my way.

No matter where I will be, I will carry my little sunshine in the pocket of my heart.

My little sunshine will fill me with warmth and love that last an infinite lifetime.

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.
