All the way in LA, at the age of 19.7, I am spending everyday and every moment trying to figure out who I am and what I am and will be doing today and for tomorrow.
My mother, all the way in Korea or New York, at the age of 43, is spending her vacation-days enjoying everyday and every moment trying to figure out what she's missed yesterday for tomorrow.
This effort of self search is a never ending lesson. Why am I, at age 19.7, trying to figure it all out? Something my mother, at the age of 43, still haven't completed?
Oh mamma, a woman who spent 22 years of her life quiet, working diligently in hopes that both her daughters will one day reach the American dream. Who knew you would have such balls to leave and (if i may) 'Do your thang'. There is no way I am not your daughter. You have such courage and you perfectly exemplify the life that didn't let anything get in it's way. You did it. Took 22 years, but You did it. & If I am Seong Nan Chong's daughter, I will do it too! aint nothin gettin in my way babe.
Beyond all the psychedelic colors and hazy clouds, will there be a pot of gold waiting for me at the end of the rainbow?
