Why I'm Thankful For Kind Strangers
Big Background

Few people are aware of the fact that my family and I took a leap of faith and completely moved away from our hometown. We left our friends, our home, and our family, but we were welcomed with arms wide open. I have never met so many kind people in my entire life. Most people know that moving is a hassle. It can be stressful finding a place, getting the place, and making sure all the essentials are hooked up. Moving three hours is extremely difficult especially when we are balancing work, for mom, and school, for me. Trying to find a way to bring all of our beloved belongings up here and trying to find a good place to settle down has been a hardship for us, but God has allowed some amazing people to cross our paths. People who have helped us in every way possible. They tried to understand our situation and even bent the rules a bit for us. There have been days when I did not know how I would get through the day without have a mental breakdown and on those days complete strangers would do something incredible for me and lift my spirits. I aspire to be one of those people. I want to be a kind stranger to someone who is in desperate need of kindness. I did not realize that a simple gesture could mean so much to someone until it meant something to me. God has certainly blessed my family in the past few weeks. He has been nothing but good to us. He has placed fantastic people in our lives and has opened so many doors for us. I am so thankful for his love and the love that he has placed in other people. I am so thankful for kind strangers.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
