My life has always been the love for life and people. One question I always asked people I’m getting to know is, “do you care about people you don’t know?” You would be surprised by how many people answer no. I’ve always been shocked by these answers because they differ from mine. I care a lot about strangers and have found a lot of pain while growing up in that so many people do not care. It’s been a struggle to understand others thoughts and beliefs when they are different from mine but I’ve always enjoyed the contrast. I’ve loved learning people’s reasons and loved being reassured in my own. Most successful people are selfish and I can admire that quality as I do not possess it. I have to be pushed out of anger to do things for myself, pushed away so that all I have left to do is to focus on myself. How heartbreaking to be left alone in selfish sin to succeed but maybe that’s what some need. I probably do but it’s not what I want. I know my success will be slow because I have others that need me and I need them. I will not be selfish to benefit, to be greedy, to have more than others. I would rather sit beside one another, smile, laugh and love in the darkness, in the dirt, till daylight. It’s seemingly harder for the good ones but I think that’s what makes people great. Love, Victoria xx
