“I came into this world with nothing, my experiences are only mine, and I will leave this world with nothing. The only one I can change is myself. You must learn to create your own happiness; you cannot depend on others to do it for you.”

- Daily Prompt: Generation XYZ (dailypost.wordpress.com) Thanks to the prompt for inspiring this memory of two elders in Izamal in Yucatan, Mexico who struck me as strengthened by their sisterhood.
