who i am

I used to think that I am so unique; I am the construct of my own creativity and efforts.

Watching a good movie at the film festival tonight, and I see that I am an extension of my parents and quite proud of it.

For a long time, my only fear in life is that I will never be as great as my parents.

Tonight, I feel closer to stepping in their shoes. So much of who I am is them: my love of cities, the way I collect friends, and my joy. My parents have taught me so much about how to be a good person that I have hope that I will do great things.

Because the number one gift that my parents give me is the freedom to be myself.
