For Them

It’s undeniable that this journey of my life has taught me a lot so far. It’s undeniable that I have made my mistakes, but also learned from them and grown from them. What am I even searching for? What do I want to do? Why do I chase this career? Does it even matter at all? What is the purpose of knowing so much, learning so much? What’s any of this about? Can I even handle owning my own firm? I need this though, for whatever reason. This empire building, this generational break. I deserve this. My mother deserves this. My grandma deserves this more than anyone. For the miles that she walked with her two young daughters, for the shacks that she raised them in. I do it for her. For all of that to be worthwhile. I do it for my mother, and all the gritty jobs she had to face for me. For picking herself up even after my father left, for her not even batting an eye or considering giving up on me. I do it for them. They deserve the success, and my story is their story. I am their making, I am a collection of their lives.
