Being the first child & the first generation in the US is a journey of its own. Creating your own path, personality, future without any resources isnโt easy. All your ideas and dreams are doubted by your own family, but guess what? Iโm not here to be ordinary.
every year my parents host all their friends, new and old, to come and celebrate diwali.
and every year this celebration reminds me of the beauty in community and friendships. it reminds me how important building a village is.
my parents moved here as immigrants, didnโt know many people, and we didnโt have any family in the US. now every year we have a home filled a village they built.
itโs a level of wealth money canโt buy. Iโll always admire the amount of love and effort they pour into their community.
Happy Diwali, hope your year is filled with happiness, prosperity, and love from your villageโจ๐ช
