The Empty Suitcase Project

I'm such a big fan of YouTube, I subscribe to a lot of channels on there that is entertaining to me. I've subscribed to the channel passionsf for a while now, I really enjoy his voice and love that he's a song writer and not just singing other people's music but also his own. He's had a lot of success just on YouTube and with that he's taken that opportunity to be a part of what is called "The Empty Suitcase Project" where he did a concert in London with a few empty suitcases of people donating items to Tanzania as well as all the proceeds from the concert.

Yes so this project is for a good cause and people should be inspired by this man of what he is doing but what really got to me is this video below. He's made several parts of his travels and explaining the actual project but this one in particular got me so emotional. You can skip over to 3:09 where Wes from Wong Fu Productions and his letter he got from his mom before he graduated from college.




I just don't know how to express how great his parents are. I just feel like parents are always in your life trying to control you thinking that they always know best, but his parents have realize that he's an adult and allowed him to take his own path on what he should do and not be in the way or holding him back. I'm not saying my parents are not good parents because they definitely are, growing up they've always had food on the table and told us from right and wrong and just having good work ethics even with them coming to this country not having the education of people that has lived here all their lives. I look at them and feel inspired and also thinking how lucky I am to have them to know that they're always there for me if I need them if I'm ever in a bind.

I just wish they didn't have such high expectation of me growing up, nothing wrong with wanting the best but I feel like I was getting pushed to do something that I didn't want to do. Also, me growing up being an adult and realizing I have my own mind I was just left confused. I'm 26 now and I really have no idea what I want to do with my life and it makes me very annoyed that I haven't got anything accomplished yet at this age. There's always time to figure out what you want to do later in life but you see all these people that are younger than you with their life just set.

Right now in my life I think I'm happy where I am, I have a few goals I like to get to and I'm slowly making my way towards them. It is like I'm starting all over just a little but I think some people are late bloomers...
