Living a life without parents by your side is really a challenging part of life, knowing that you do not have somebody to tells a story about your day to day living, to cry when you are down, and somebody to call a Mom and Dad. Not until..
Hello, everyone! It is been a long time that I have not posted any stories here in hive! but don't worry I assure you that I will keep on posting some stories again, such as my travel stories, reflections, and of course about my hobbies in life.
So.. going back to the story. My life has changed when I took the opportunity to live with my Aunt. Yes, it is an opportunity for me to live with her for the reason that, as a child who doesn't have a parents to support my studies, it is an opportunity to have a family member that is wholeheartedly, willingly, and lend two hands to help me as I grow as an individual, and of course to build or to mold myself for the near future.
I say, my Aunt is really a kind, generous, and strong woman I know. As the time that I have lived with her, I have never experienced such complex situations. Now that I am studying in college, she really supported me as I continue studying. She never doubted my capabilities, never doubted me as a person, and never doubted if I really can get through college, instead she always told me not to pressure myself, because she will understand if I fail once, but me, as I promise to her, I am doing my best or should I say, I am doing everything that I can just not to disappoint her.
Sometimes, she even posted my achievements in her Facebook account, I am not really used to that, but my heart really melts everytime I see those. She even put a caption that stated, "Congratulations to my daughter", and "My daughter's achievement at school, don't pressure yourself". Those kinds of words from her really melts my heart. Knowing that she is recognizing me as her own child, my heart really felt love everytime she posted me. It is not just a little thing for me, it really means a lot to me.
My Aunt is not a hard person to talk, she is really being kind. Even to other people, she is kind. I saw how she struggles everyday, even make sacrifices for us.
She always teaches me how to be an independent person, not being dependent to others because someday they might left you. She always told me to be knowledgeable about life, because there are a lot of battles that life may throw to me and I have to be strong and brave to face everything. I can see how tough she is because of what she had experienced in her own life, she doesn't want me to experience what she had encounter, that she believes life is really hard, but also she told me that, it's up to us on how we are gonna handle ourselves with those situations that we are going through.
I am her responsibility, and as her daughter, my responsibility is to take care of her, always.
We are lucky for having parents that supports us always in all ways. We must take care of them just as how they took care of us, always. We must be thankful for having them in our lives, because without them we are nothing in this world.
