Nala’s whisper

What was your most memorable summer and what made it so great?

My best summer was May 2006, a month after a wicked release and a month after my heart got broken. I got to visit my sister with my brother which I looked forward to ever since my sister worked abroad. We are tight. Both are my best friends. It was fun since it was the first time we got together without our parents. We went to different places like Liberty Island, amazing restaurants in downtown, Times Square , etc. We were not sure when we three will be together again that’s why I treasured that experience.

As those amazing things happened to us, being in New York City with the best buds of my life, all I did was think about something else. Great things were in my face but I was not recognizing it just because I was rejected by one person. I was walking through all the pain when there was my family and friends who loves me to death and are still here for me no matter what. I got my much-needed nudge on the head there and after that I’ve started having the time of my life…appreciating those who just left my life but most importantly, appreciating those that are left behind.

I got a chance to visit my sister again the next year but I still would not trade my Summer May 2009 for anything. I learned a great lesson …life does not stop after getting your heart broken because in my experience, it just started.
