The PR Closet: SO HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PAY THE RENT?

2012

2011 — has been the worst year of my life.. We lost General Vang Pao, Grandpa, and the one I love the most… My dad. I can’t explain how painful it feels.. and not even that.. 2012 is coming in one more day. This year has already been bad enough. A lot of great leaders that represented their country, their nationality, and their clan.. have left this year.

- GVP : Leader of the Hmong

- Osama Bin Laden: Leader of the Al Qaeda

- My grandpa : Leader of my mom’s family tree

- My Dad (Lormong Lo) : First Hmong City Councilman, First Hmong President of the Asian Pacific American Municipal Officials, One of the only Hmong to greet the King and Queen of Thailand, … the best dad I could ever ask for..

- Kim Jong-Il : Leader of North Korea

- Steve Jobs: Leader of Technology in America
And this isn’t even everyone on the list.. My dad said in the spring during my grandpa’s funeral, “This is going to be a dark year”. And it’s sad to say that my dad had to be one of the people that had to leave this place. I’m being honest with myself and my feelings here.. I am ready for 2012, a new year that will hopefully bring more fortunate things upon all of us. BUT I do fear it in a way. I may just be mislead into fear by all of the sayings that everyone is talking about.. How the Mayan’s calender stops in 2012. The Chinese predict that something bad will happen this year as well. 2011 was already bad enough, what more can happen in this new year?
I feel a little fearful, but I trust in God, and that He will know where we shall all be in this world. I’m still trying to figure out where I should be, but.. I have to let go of the wheel and let Him take control. I just pray that if anything bad does happen, I will be able to do many good things before it. I want to reach out more to the community, help the people that are in need, help the Hmong in the surrounding areas more, do something productive everyday so nothing goes to waste, and to follow Jesus Christ and to fully believe and trust in Him. If anything, these are my #1 to-do’s on my new year’s resolution list. Make a difference in this world! Even if it’s the smallest things, it can affect a person’s day and make it that ____________________________ much better! To follow my dreams and goals, and to not let anyone denigrate my intentions with what I want to do with my life. Only God has the right to do that, and that is who I am following.
And so with God, I feel that I am ready for 2012. I’ve gone through the bad times, and even though I’m still sitting here in the dark, with medical problems and going through the grieving process, I am feeling more and more confident each and every day. And that’s what matters! Everything will heal slowly and soon I will be okay. Today my fortune cookie said, “God can heal a broken heart, but he has to have all of the pieces”. Well I’m giving my broken heart to Him now. No matter how long it may take, I know that I’ll be okay with Him by my side walking through this dark path. The light will soon come, and I hope that one day I can give to the community and to others just like my dad.

Don’t waste your time!!

Let me tell you a story. There once was a girl, a friend of a friend, ;) who had a boyfriend who also lived far away. They dated for a couple of years and during those years, they broke up and got back together a couple of times for different reasons, but similar to yours. The girl thought he was THE ONE because he was her first love (she was just blinded) and kept putting up with his crap. She finally said enough was enough because SHE was better than that and DESERVED better than that. Her happiness became more important to herself than his did. Anyway, she just cut her losses cold turkey. No more talking, writing (that was back when people still wrote letters), but you get it. So no more texting, facebooking, etc. Many years later, after they both grew up, he somehow got her phone number and called her out of the blue. And do you know what he told her? “I’m sorry for treating you like crap. I now know that I was wrong and you deserved better. I’ve been dreaming about you lately and so that’s why I asked around for your number. I really wanted to tell you that YOU ARE THE ONE for me. I SHOULD HAVE MARRIED YOU!” By the way, he was married with a kid already. And do you know what the girl said, “Sorry, you’re five years too late. I have someone in my life that values who I am and gives me the love that I deserve. I hope you can move on with your life and let go of all the regrets and things you wished you would have done. I let go of all the sadness and hurt a long time ago and it doesn’t weigh me down anymore. I’m now where God intended me to be and that’s not with you.” So…that’s the story and I see you walking the same path. Beth, let go while you still have you’re life in front of you. All the hurt and sadness is not worth it. Someone else deserves that love, especially yourself. Cold turkey, that’s the only way. I love you” ——- Don’t waste your time on someone that isn’t giving you the love and respect that you deserve.
