Never forget where you came from

I've always been afraid
I've always been nervous
Up until now
My eyes have been opened 
Whilst keeping my identity I have discovered new sides of me
I have learned for myself what it's like to be alone
To rely on me
I have learned what is really wrong and what is really exaggerated
I have always been free spirited & now that I actually can be 
My heart is truly happy
I've never quite been this happy with who I am.
All these experiences are creating my life story without even trying
Nothing is forced.
Each day is a journey or a discovery.
I have met so many new people whom I wouldn't trade for anything
Everything is as it should be.
The down side is missing home. Missing all who loved me first.
If you truly appreciate a person, you'll never forget them
I wouldn't be where or who I am without those people.
Your roots are your foundation. 
They don't rule you the rest of your life, the rest is up to you
How you build off of that foundation is up to you.
Truly be thankful for where you are and how you got there 
Everything else will fall into place.
All will be ok.

You still got Heart

In a world of constant upgrading technology, trending fashion that changes every few months, and of course as always, money. It is hard to not be caught up with material things and appearances.

"Nowadays" people are concerned with what they can get in return or what they look like if they do something kind or honest. Mostly just because our generation has succumbed to social media being the resource of information and advice.

Don't do what everyone tells you and certainly don't do something just because someone else does.

I understand all this, and I understand why someone wouldn't trust anyone with their heart because the fear of selfish gain.

I strive to be different.

I have always been someone to do things because in my heart I wanted to. I want to make others feel happy, I want to share my happiness, & if I am upset I want to ignore my issues and focus on theirs. It's just natural I don't even think about what the reaction may be. I guess I love.

If you want to be happy maybe just sit back and reevaluate your priorities.
