When first asked, “Why does your life matter?” I was hesitant. My mind went completely blank and I couldn’t help but re-ask myself the question over and over again. But the more I thought about it, the more things started to come up. So, why does my life matter? My life matters because I want to be able to share my personal experiences with other people in the hopes of inspiring them that it’s okay to be hesitant if you’re unsure at first. My life matters because I want to continue my parents’ legacy and continue making them proud. My life matters because I have so many bucket list goals that I want to accomplish and won’t stop until I accomplish them all. My life matters because I can advocate for things that I’m passionate about and use my voice for good. But most importantly, my life matters because of my amazing friends and family that support me no matter what. With all that being said, I think often times we neglect the privilege of being able to here, so I want to be able to spread this message and remind people that there are so many great things that make life worth living and to be grateful for everything given to us.
