Who ISN’T selfish. I mean, let’s get real; if someone says that they are doing something completely for another person, they are lying. Even if you are helping the poor and never doing anything to take care of yourself, one, that is just stupid, and two, you are still getting something out of it; you are gaining perspective on who you are, what you do, the people you know, where you want to go, etc.
No matter what, we are always left to fend for ourselves and take care of the person that we have become. Throughout experiences, we can lose everything, including people around us, loved ones, and material objects, but we are US. The thing is that some people believe that they have lost themselves when something bad happens, so they pick themselves up, only to fall back down. We have to see that no matter what, we have ourselves to rely on. It sounds lonely, and it sounds incredibly sad, but it is the truth, especially when you look at the big picture; no one else can fix us, we singly have the power to change.
Funny thing is… it takes our own initiative to figure out what to change and how to go about making ourselves into the people we are. We have to fight for what we have and then fight to let it go when the time is right; the inner struggle can be harder than the outer one.
I thought I knew my place, I thought I knew where I was going, and yet I am just falling through the cracks once more, only to find myself in the place I call strange.
I don’t want you to be just another face that I see everyday. I want you to be the one.
