Something important to me is that I am a good “big” cousin. I never had any younger siblings so I was never someone who was there to give advice or to be ‘looked up to’ in a sense, but, I now have younger cousins who I am closer to than I have been with any of my other cousins, and I try to do right in the weird and unlikely chance that they look up to me in some way, shape, or form. I also now have nieces and a nephew who will look up to me in the future as they grow older, and I hope that I can stay a respectable person who is someone that I’d want to look up to myself if I were younger.
Life isn’t easy, and I am not pleased with the way I turned out really at this point, but I know that I have the ultimate gift inside of me, which is the gift of salvation by Christ Jesus and that is who I want to reflect, and that is who I want for anyone who looks at me to see. My flesh and my dreams, ambitions, and goals are useless and nasty if I have not the love of Christ in me.
