This ensemble is everything I could ever aspire to be
india.
I came here to capture the beauty, the life, the color, the culture of india. What I’ve seen is a mass amount of pain. There is so much violence and suffering. I wish.. I could fix it all. But, I’m not God. I don’t have a heavenly, divine power to fix everyone’s problems. I wonder if in order for there to be happiness, must there be pain and sadness. There’s a little boy, 12 years old, whom I’ve grown to adore. A part of me wants to take him back to America, raise him as my brother. But, I know the chance of that happening is very rare. So, my aunt offered to take care of him, only if I send her money every month. About $100-200 dollars every month. I think I will say yes to this, and work hard back home and send money every 2-3 weeks. That way, it’ll accumulate to the amount she needs to take care of him. I hate that these children have to grow up in these lifestyles. I hate it so much. I wish I could give them my life. I’d do anything to erase their pain away. Anything.
Finding your passion isn’t just about careers and money. It’s about finding your authentic self. The one you’ve buried beneath other people’s needs.
