“Just Late Twenties Advice” by Sophia Irene Mendez
A small message at the end of a memory I wrote in an essay for my teacher Patricia about when life had beaten me to my lowest, but survived and overcame it, if there’s anything I would want to tell younger students is this: Life and shame can often make us feel we are undeserving or incapable of what we truly want in life or blur the vision. When that god shot of clarity hits you in whatever shadow that scares you ,I hope you do not run away, instead claim it.
