A Recent Epiphany


Over the course of my life, a whopping 22 years and 11 months, I have learned a lot of things. Besides the everyday textbook lessons and information that I will never use in my career, there are a few life-lessons that I think about almost daily.

I have learned what my position is on particular political topics and I have learned to not discuss these topics with people I don’t know very well. 

I have learned to focus my passion from what I want to teach to why and how I want to teach. 

Fairly recently, I have learned how to prioritize everything in my life, including work, school, social time, me-time, relationships, and sleep (not in that order). 

Sadly, but rightly so, I learned all of these things the hard way.

But the biggest thing I have learned, in the best and most glorious way, is how much I truly appreciate and love my family, for everything they are. What is this previously-mentioned way in which I learned this wonderful lesson? Getting my job in Taiwan.

This is going to be a short post, because (cliché phrase coming up) words cannot describe how much I love them, but I believed this feeling of overwhelming love and support warranted a post.

I love you, I love you, I love you.
