I am an Everyday Hero

               One of the most remembered struggles I had been through during my lifetime was the separation of my parents. I was only 5-years old when it happened. Everything was infallible for my family and I, nothing had been wrong. Before the incident, in retrospection, when my parents were really gregarious, I was ostentatious with them when we were walking around the block or in a store; here they were both my mom and dad together, with me. Such maudlin was ubiquitous in my mind and body. For instance, I felt like I was with the clouds up high reaching my zenith for the first five years, where no one will be able to reach me; however, after it happened I was “at the bottom of a well” where it is always dark whether it is day or night time; and no one will hear you for miles away. The depression, which I thought never existed in me, had turned out to be real and was ubiquitous in my mind and body.

               What I have done to overcome this …”bottom of a well” is seeing both of my parents on different days. For example, I see my dad on Monday’s, Wednesday’s, and every other weekend; Tuesday’s and Thursday’s and the weekend that is not with my dad, with my mom. But my brother and I live with my mom. It had made me euphoric. This happened months after the separation occurred.

               The “next step” will have to be to forget about it and move on. Because after all, we cannot be “at the bottom of a well’ for the rest if our lives and relinquish everything we admire and venerate. In my case, my parents did not seem to get along ever since they met but they stayed for my brother and I; until it was impossible to stay together and relinquished their relationship. Make sure we do not have the same struggles as someone’s parents went through and avoid them.
