This is a 1 minute quicky about life defining moments.

sometimes, I realize I don’t give my parents the appreciation they deserve. If you’ve read some of my past essays, it might seem like I’ve got this broken, almost irreparable relationship with them. And, yeah, it felt like that for a long time.
But thankfully, I’m in a season where my parents and I are making the necessary adjustments, communicating better, respecting each other's boundaries, and just loving each other in a way that feels so genuine, respectful, and humbling—a place we’ve never been able to reach. Better latte than never. 😮💨
In the audio attached to this, a friend who has known me long enough said:
never met anyone so selflessly pure in my life, trust me. You have no bad energy coming off of you. Like, none whatsoever. And I have met people nigga. I don't know how your parents raised you, but they did a really good job. — Nalin Sharma
those words struck me deeply.
taking this moment to celebrate my parents. They may not have been perfect in every place, but they were great in ways that have shaped who I am today. They’ve taught me values that this friend and others see; selflessness, honesty (at least 85% of the time), simple and noise-less life.
shoutout to my parents—my backbone, my role models, my sponsors, my pastors, my Oniduros. They've been a solid force in my life, guiding me through these 30 years on earth.
Despite anything I may have written or not written about the past, the present is different. Right now, I love them completely, and they love me right back. We’re in a good and beautiful place, and that’s something I’m grateful for every day.
I love you, Mom and Dad.
