U DESERVE IT

She had people call her LIZ because her mother only called her by her full name when she was crazy - ELIZABATH. Her background is distressing. It was a rubbish place. Expired food, expired bathroom, expired needles, expired tranquility, expired childhood, expired mother, expired family... Maybe only one will not expire - she said: "I love you, mum." "I love you, dad."

Living in the lowest level of sadness is not something that can be solved by sorrow, it is the despair of self-suffering. Just like people, abandon everything, and what remains is the instinct to survive. When life is stripped so naked, simply face everything fearlessly.

Those troubles that make us strain our tongues and rack our brains every day are nothing in the big issue of life. Nothing is deep except love and death.

Liz has shaggy hair and an adult-like expression of thoughtful calmness. Life pushed her too hard, and she couldn't help herself grow. She said, "She is my baby." Such growth is often painful and firm. With a "Nothing is worse." belief, she moved forward in the chaos. Because she knew that what God gave her was always the only way forward.

A life without retreat.

Long-lost emotion. She doesn't give up on life, she always says "I just need a chance." Such determination and confidence come from a soul who can despair to the bottom at any time.

Human nature is so connected. I always don't understand where there are bad people in the world, don't they understand pain and empathy? To this great soul, all I can say is: You deserve Harvard.
