i hate to say it but there are a lot of things that just don't matter here. and i would rather take everything that i have been blessed with to help other people with than spend money on a dress or shoes. i don't think it is fair for me to continually get more and more that i don't need when there are so many people that would be grateful for what i consider crap. i believe that loneliness and the lie that nobody cares is a pandemic far greater than any medical disease. the irony that the cure for this is much simpler than any medicinal combobulation or medical treatment; love. if we each just took one second to appreciate, empathize or even encourage our world would be a much different place. a much happier place, a more hopeful place. hope is what we cling onto yet fear it will only lead to disappointment. such basic principles but i don't think anyone can say they live up to their potential and embrace them. instead we allow fear to inhibit us and the truth is that it is selfish of us. of course it is not ideal to have to leave your comfort zone to help another person but you may never know the impact it has on them whether or not they express their gratitude.
when we choose to embrace our qualities and talents and disregard our fears, we are not the only beneficiaries.
