Joy's Sketchbook: Life without Remorse

By Joy

In this reflective essay, Joy delves into the life of her mother who was born in 1927, presenting a vivid recollection of her mother's experiences, hardships, and ultimately strong resilience. Emotions run deep as the author feels her mother's pain and experiences a deep-seated resentment toward those who mistreated her mother. Joy explores how these emotions have influenced her own social life and relationships, seeking to understand the past to create a better future. The author also aims to pass life's wisdom on to her descendants through this memoir and encourage resilience in adversity. Finally, the essay points to a theme also found in the story of Narnia: adversity can prepare one for a special destiny. Joy is excited to share this remarkable story with you.

Joy

The author is an individual whose resilience - whether amid poverty as a child or in her eventual journey to becoming a teacher, counselor, and aspiring author - overflows to impact the lives of those around her. She understands her story is not just her own. Her emotions, social life, and relationships today are intertwined with experiences, memories, and people from earlier in her life. Out of the many, Joy chooses to explore her earlier memories of her mother, a woman born in 1927 in Korea. Emotions run deep as the author vulnerably feels her mother’s pain and experiences a deep-seated resentment toward those who mistreated her mother. However, Joy's purpose in sharing this memoir is to understand the past to ultimately create a better future. She hopes her message of holding onto resilience in adversity and gentle hope for an unknown yet promising future will encourage her readers.
