Not So B&W: Alan
Raised in a Filipino, family oriented setting really exposed me to a lot of love. With that you get everything connected to the emotion of love. As you grow older, you tend to carry over a lot of those characteristics with you.
And what's beautiful about that foundation, we have that ability to find a reason to live. Search and share life experiences that embed them as memories, being able to have complete control of your destiny and how you want to leave your mark here on earth.
Being able to be vulnerable to experience the different levels of happiness, pain, and satisfaction. Being able to create and expand your family line for generations and generations ahead. Being able to connect with others on a different mental stage for a deeper intimate connection. Being able to support a friend during a hardship and offer any types of your resources and love during their time. Being able to babysit your younger siblings or cousins. Being able to take your loved ones out to dinner. Being able to go out with friends until 5 am. Being able to participate in something that can change or relieve random humans on earth. Being able to create a brand and spread connect peoples of the same energy. Being able to pour your heart and soul into a passion. Or maybe just being able to have someone to tell you I love you.
To be human is to feel...The ability to influence, connect, empathize, laugh, and love others. Ya know, Humans doing earthy things.
Having a good heart is taught and unconditionally influenced. Love recognizes love. Humans share with Humans. Keep spreading it.
"Here today, Gone tomorrow"
This piece really resonated with me. In multiple forms. At the end of it, we are given this beautiful opportunity called life, even though it may be filled with hardships, we are given this ONE opportunity to experience anything and everything. What we each do in our lifetime, embrace everything and make it worth your while. I'm here to make my mark.
