Almost Beautiful

Everyday is a new day. I'm thankful to God that I can always start a new each day  when I open my eyes first thing in the morning.  No one can tell you who you are except for you. Each day, I seek the strength within myself and ask why I'm here. Sometimes it's a struggle, sometimes it's victory. Sometimes I smile because I feel peace within my heart. Sometimes I still cry because I just don't feel the peace completely. To others, it may be such a small problem, but to me, it matters so much. I just can't seem to have my peace like I used to. It's so noisy and chaotic inside. I want to drown myself within the ocean and see if this little girl inside of me can rescue me. No, it's not the little girl that needs saving. It's the little girl showing the big girl how bright this world can be. It's the little girl telling her that everything is okay, don't worry. It's the little girl teaching her to smile and be fre...

Sometimes, I wonder my life wouldn't be so complicated, if you guys were still here. But, that's only wishful thinking. Would you guys be proud of me of where I am right now? I hope so. I've done it without you guys and I'm sure I will be fine till the very end. I try not to think too much about you guys, but once in a while your faces appear in my mind, then I have no choice, but to let it sink in again. As much as my heart hurts when I think about you guys, you guys are also my motivation to keep going and never give up. You guys have no idea how much damaged you've left, but we are stronger than before. You can call it a blessing in disguise. I will never let myself get to the point of "no return". But, as much as I hate to say it, I miss you guys. I'll become a great nurse one day and visit you guys shortly.

Wow, I haven't wrote on my blog for so many years. What have happened!? Well, AWESOME news is I made it into Rasmussen College's nursing program! It's amazing, yet so nerve-wrecking. All glory to God for guiding and preparing me. So many things have happened that has challenged me mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically as well. I am forever blessed to have so many friends and family supporting and reminding me how loved I am by them. What would I do without them? =( It just makes me want to cry. Truthfully, I've been feeling so emotional and sensitive lately. I dislike how every little reminisce can bring such emotions over me. I guess I just need time for myself because I am over-worked with school and work. I just need to slow down, take some deep breaths, and re-prioritize. I can do this! I just need to believe in myself that I can do it. You are stronger and wiser than you think, Gao! Keep going!
