You're like the ocean to me
I become a part of the sea
Every time I visit the beach
Every time I'm in the water

I'm laying in your motion
Stay for awhile dear ocean
Touch my hand and you'll understand
Touch my soul, please don't let go

My body floats floats floats
And my eyes are closed while you're close
Though you may not always be here
May your spirit still live in me, near

It's interesting how the tiniest of events lead to another. I've been working on a blog website & I think it's practically prepared to start showing so I was scoping out people to get opinions. I have an older cousin who has graduated a few years back that majored in art and is pursuing it in his humble life. Only now have I become fascinated that him and I strive for an artistic life among our family and I've never initiated a connection. Anyways, then I saw things he has been posting and there was a video, so I proceeded to play and watch it as you may do the same. Come back here after.

It was one of those moments where life washes over you. This provoked me to call my parents in the middle of the video and ask my mom if in their free time can she and my dad make a timeline of their lives. To include not only struggles but perhaps good memories also and the feelings connected to such events. I know blurry bits and pieces, but I can never get a feel of how they are through past reasoning since I'm not as aware as I'd like to be. I'd like to gain more understanding, especially through their own reflections. So this is a message cyberly being sent through the universe that please, please let my parents take mental journeys to bring forth realization, renewed appreciation, and acknowledgment for both me and them. It's beyond belief to know my parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents went through this when they came over from Cambodia at this same time. How fascinating that my childhood visits to my grandparents donut shops were much more than my focus to get rainbow sprinkles. A great amount more. That my family has gone through these similar hardships and how easy it is to wash away the bad thoughts, leaving them unknown for the people of different time.
