Diaspora

Today's inspiration comes from a movie I just saw with my brother and mom: The Dust of Life. It was an independent Vietnamese film, which tells the story of young teens, torn from their home country in the Vietnam War. They try to make a living here, but end up disappointing and ruining everything that their parents sacrificed for them. I was suddenly reminded of the inexplicable hardships that my parents endured to get to here, so that we could have a better life. I tend to forget that and take them for granted.
