Like other bloggers, I have similar opinions.

Many things (e.g., Dad lost a job, and Mom became partially deaf) happened during my teenage years. I feel like I finally stayed calm at 22. Moving out of my parents’ house was a way to start a new life.

For the first few years in Florida, I wanted to show the best side to my parents. But it turned into a desire to take new challenges. That’s how my mom and I started competing. It was like a battle, not an argument. I wondered why. But I was not wrong, and I wanted to be a winner.

Master Oogway said, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.”

I like it!

「人生で1年だけやり直せるなら、どの1年にする?」という質問なんですが、他のブロガーさん達が答えていたので、私も答えます。

10代の頃はいろいろ (父が仕事を失ったり、母が聴覚障害になったり等) あって、22歳になってようやく落ちついたかな。 私にとって実家を出ることは、新しい人生を始めることでもあったから。

フロリダに来て最初の数年間は、親に自分の良いところを見せたい気持ちが強かったけど、いつからか挑戦したい気持ちに。そしたら、母と私のどちら(の考え)が正しいか争うようになって、それが単なる口論とかじゃなくて、ホントに戦いのような感じ。なんで実母と争わなきゃいけないのかって。でも、自分が間違ってるって思わなかったし、絶対この争いに勝ちたかった。

      As I told you before, my past is complicated. I am still not changing my opinion…😅

    Thank you for sharing such an honest and personal reflection. Your journey from a difficult teenage period to finding calm at 22, leaving home, and beginning a new life in Florida is truly meaningful. I especially liked your honesty about the “battle” with your mother—sometimes the people we love most become the ones who challenge us to grow the most.

      Hello! I am sorry for my late reply 🙏 Compared to the time that I was living with my parents, I feel much more freedom and better now. The saddest thing is she has always blamed me. What I did to her? I don’t do anything bad. But what she did to me has come back to her. She always yelled at me loudly when I was a kid, so she lost hearing. I don’t want to say negative things, but I think it is karma…

    Such a thoughtful and honest reflection. ❤️ I especially love the wisdom of Master Oogway: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift. Your story beautifully reminds us to learn from the past while embracing the present.

      Thank you. This week I edited the site that I shared with you. → https://helprohingya.wixsite.com/live-in-peace

      I did an information update and added your website link. Other sections don’t change a lot (I deleted the music section due to copyright, and I updated links) … Is it ok to share on my Japanese blog? (Please remember, not all Japanese people speak fluent English, but they are interested in global issues…🙏)

        Thank you so much for taking the time to update the website and for adding my website link. ❤️ I really appreciate your kindness and the work you are doing to share information about the Rohingya and our situation.

        Yes, please feel free to share it on your Japanese blog. I think it is a very good idea. Not everyone in Japan speaks fluent English, but many Japanese people care deeply about human rights, peace, and global issues. If the information can reach even a few more people who may not otherwise hear our stories, that means a lot to me.

        I also understand your decision to remove the music section because of copyright concerns. Updating the links and keeping the information current is already very helpful.

        For me, the most important thing is that people can learn about the Rohingya through reliable information and real human stories, not only through headlines or statistics. I hope your Japanese readers can understand that behind every number is a human being, a family, a memory, and a life.

        Thank you again for standing with us and for helping our voices reach people in Japan. May God reward you for your kindness and sincere efforts. 🤲❤️
