Soul-Searching

I love big. Family, friends, boyfriends, colleagues.
I believe in the good in people. And I believe we can all be bad.
I find in others what I do not see in myself, and I appreciate it for what it can teach me.
I live for my family and for the bright future of the family I will create.
I cherish the way I was raised and the opportunities I was given. I understand that many people in my life were raised differently and not given the same opportunities, but were in fact raised beautifully and given different opportunities.

I sometimes talk in circles. I sometimes don't know what I'm saying. I sometimes push off the big issues until they are too huge to recover from. In relationships, friendships and work.
I am smart. People smart. Book smart. Philanthropy smart. Socially smart.
I spent many years making rash decisions. That was fun. I no longer do that.

I don't stick up for myself enough. Regardless of what I know to be true in my heart and/or mind, it's easy for me to let others guide me in certain directions. It's been fun. I will no longer do that.

I am a daughter. A friend. A girlfriend. A colleague. A sorority sister. A biological sister. A philanthropist. A dreamer. A comedian. A dancer. Most of all, I am Sara Amin. I am proud of my past, getting comfortable in my present, and looking forward to my future.
