My Autobiography

Chapter 11: Remembrance Of Things Present

I want myself in twenty years to remember how I was able to work extremely hard and pull off all the impossible in order to graduate with the Class of 2022. Being able to graduate earlier than your original time because you did so well in academics, it isn't easy to come by, and yet I was able to pull it off, especially when one of those years was mainly online because of our COVID-19 pandemic.

I also want myself in twenty years to know that no matter where you are now, that you are doing the very best you can in any hard matter. Losing the person who truly loved you at such a young age has its major downfalls and struggles, but you and I have become much stronger, and I am proud of the person that I am now, and the person that you have become today, twenty years later. Life will never get easier, it's like Meredith Grey has always said: "The carousel never stops turning." She's right though, the carousel will never stop turning, it will only go one direction. Just keep being you.

One last thing that I want myself to remember after twenty years is to always take care of yourself before others. While that may sound kind of hostile or rude, you have had to go through so many terrible and traumatic things as a child, and yet all you cared about was everyone else around you. You didn't take care of yourself during those times, and it almost cost you your entire life. That's very dark, I know. That is why you must absolutely make sure that you are alright and well before you try to help others out. That is something you will always need to remember and work on, because your heart is so big and caring that sometimes it doesn't realize you need to give yourself some love.
