Recognitions are not everything,
Pride is not everything, Having your life well put together, and Coordinating your life, planning your life 10 years from now, 15 years from now, It’s not everything Pressure makes us panic, the pressure to be perfect, to be a perfect straight A student, a volunteer, a daughter, a brother, a sister, a son, a friend and at the same time having your emotions all in place together, You should know That we are not robots, Yes, we are part of this modernized world, Yes, we are the technology generation, The generation where technology wants to do its best to out –do the power of prayer, The generation that believes that giving up is the best option, The generation that is expected to succeed, But we are still learning, we are still growing Technology is not everything How do you know what mistakes mean at the age of twenty-something? Is it when you hit your face to the floor? Is it when you spend weekends drinking your sorrows away and waking up to the smell of booze, Trying to remember what happened the night before, Forgetting is not everything, Social anxiety is real, High functioning anxiety is real, Perfection is not everything We have flaws, we are flaws, From our limbs, all the way straight to our jaws, We are made of flaws and mistakes, But that is not everything, We are more than that, We are capable of forgiving and being forgiven, every single time, That is everything, We are capable of being human even when we feel the least of it, Even if the media says otherwise, Even if the generations before doubted once or twice, We are capable, We are everything, You are everything, And this world, 10 to 15 years from now, will it still be something? Doesn’t matter, not yesterday, not tomorrow, Because right now, at this moment, now, That is everything
