GROWING UP                                                I have realized the joy derived from achieving and the encouragement appreciation gives. I was steps away from adulthood yet I felt like I had just started childhood over again. my curious mind keeps probing“How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?” I continue to asking myself. For it all felt like a mirage. And all I wanted to do was chef and step.

As much as I would love to grow up, my sole contentment would be in connecting my figure with my play-list summoning as much grace as possible. And create mind blowing recipes in this ado, awe and tickle me. Trying to show life in my own cocktail brand and subtle poached potatoes.

Nevertheless, I certainly should not live on beats and buds alone. I should utilize time and make myself endeared to the people around me. I have grandpa and my little sister to take care of. Through this act I feel a taste of motherhood and let my parents know that time has come for them to see me in a new light. To know that now I can take on charges and make decisions.

The sincere “thank you” grandpa says at every little act of kindness or the sparkle in Oma's (my sister) eyes at every little surprise. Though unnecessary so far I am doing what is required of me. Illustrates clearly that to experience life is to give. And giving is efficiency. At the end of any hectic week in this time I go to stay for the church choir's practice. It helps lift my spirit. In this period I get into deep thoughts, of who I really want to become.

I crave to be myself as versatile as possible, acknowledging that nothing is impossible. It matters not how old or how long but how well...
