Being a teenager and an immigrant, you constantly hear opinions about who you should be, what you should do, and what your future should look like. Between school, social media, friends, family, and expectations from family and friends, it can often be difficult to make out which thoughts are truly my own.

I realized that finding your voice doesn’t mean having everything figured out and fitting perfectly where you should be. It is all about being willing to think for yourself, ask questions, learn from your experiences, and sometimes change your mind to fit in circumstances. Growing up is not all about becoming the person everyone expects you to be—it’s about discovering the person you want to become and the purpose of your life.

That is one of the reasons I started Breana’s Thought Club. I wanted a place where I could write about my thoughts, questions that ring in my mind everyday, experiences I learn from, and topics that make me think.

I definitely don’t have all the answers—and that’s kind of the point. This is a place to explore ideas, not pretend to know everything.

So welcome to my little thought club. Come back each week for a new post, a new question, and maybe a new perspective.
