keep trying

October 2, 2021

Growing up in an Asian community in one of the most education driven country is quite trying. Keeping up with studies and trying to create good memories becomes a struggle when you get older. Every day, seeing my parents, friends, and adults around me feeling exhausted and drained out is depressing. Even from youth, though my parents were not given a silver spoon, they try to do their best for me and my siblings, even if it means sacrificing family time and not understanding each other's feelings. There are so many moments in my life where I just felt like giving up, the burden of trying to keep the balance of studies or work and staying positive gets hard. After awhile, you'd also realise your friends start to get distant as everyone around you are trying to get a good job so that their families won't suffer. I always liked quotes as they often make me feel like there are people who understand or felt the pain of being lonely and depressed. But most of these qoutes they don't tend to stick with me because I see them through books and instagram and it sucks to know that I need to find the reminder to remind myself that it's ok and I can pull through it. When I found out about zox, I told myself maybe this is what I need, something I could wear that reminds me of what I must do. Scrolling through the catalog made me feel so good seeing that there are people out there helping others in a unique way. I got "I can collection 129" from a mystery pack, as I thought why not surprise myself. I was hoping for something that could be a great reminder for me. When I opened the three pack, I was so happy that the three zox that I got resonated with me and my two siblings. I'm planning to get one for my mom as a gift for her birthday as I believe that mothers deserve to know that we are grateful for them. Than you Zox for being my pillar of hope. Love❤
