In the tapestry of life, I found myself walking a path laid out by my Old Generation parents. They believed that following their footsteps would lead to happiness. But as I journeyed along, I realized something profound: their bridge didn’t align with my true self. It left me feeling frustrated, like a square peg forced into a round hole.
Then, like a beacon of clarity, Akon’s song “Burn that bridge” illuminated my way. I understood that I needed my own bridge—one forged from my experiences, my aspirations, and my unique essence. So, I set to work.
This bridge became my canvas, where I painted confidence and resilience. I strengthened its beams with self-discovery and mental well-being. And atop it, I stood as a better version of myself—a person unafraid to embrace individuality.
I honor my parents for their bridge, passed down through generations. It served as a foundation, albeit imperfect. But now, with newfound knowledge and experiences, I’m crafting my own bridge. It spans across dreams and aspirations, connecting where I work, how I live, and the decisions I make.
No longer content with the easy path, I choose what’s right for me. I stride confidently across my life bridge, knowing that every step is a testament to authenticity and growth.
So, to anyone standing right now on their Ancestors bridge, remember this: Burn the old, build anew, and walk boldly toward your true self.
