What I don't want to lose along the way

Essence, in my opinion, all that one is made of. You are a little bit of where you’re from, a whole lot of your parents, some of your surroundings, your prizes, your pain, the people that spent your whole life with you, the ones that spent one afternoon, the sunny days when you close your eyes and hear the laughing, the rainy drops on the window when you lose yourself in wonder, you are a little bit of every fragment of life you’ve experienced since your first cry. You are who you chose to be, the moments you chose to hold on to and the ones you let it go.

If you think about it, the more you see the less you know and as much as it is important to go we should remain us, no matter how high the mountain you got to climb, when you get to the top, remain humble, don’t lose who you are, your essence, it’s one thing to improve and a whole other to turn your back. Respect the different and embrace the new that’s probably what Canada is all about, and as thankful I am to be here I know where I came from and where I stand, and I’d hate to see myself turning my back to all the little frames that made me who I am today.

I still have a long way to go but at least I know where I’ve been.
