hello, smiles are like sunshines on faces. smiles make people prettier and is much more efficient than your expensive makeup.
i really like to smile, laugh, and gigglesnort :)
PS: I generally don't follow people I don't know :) Unless your blog is super amazing.
Maybe if I had saved my allowances since age 7, chose never to eat out, never asked for presents, never bought the books I want to read, never asked for a birthday cake, never bought junk food, never went on field trips, never bought pretty clothes, never asked for anything, then maybe, just maybe, I could pay for my own college tuition.
tl;dr?
Maybe if I chose not to live as a normal child, then I wouldn’t be poor.
There’s only one person in the world who can do this: Ashley Ngo.
But I’m not her. No matter how much I admire her selflessness, humility, and heart. I cannot be like her. I’m selfish, flawed, and corrupted. I like to indulge in material desires, and so do my parents. It’s a trait in my family that I can’t ignore.
But when I have to explain my financial situation, I feel guilty. Because I never felt poor before. I’ve had enough to eat, enough toys to play with, books to read, and a roof over my head. But if I sit down and compare the numbers and lifestyles of those who look down at my family, I see the difference. My heart is bitter because my parents don’t speak English and can’t work a better job. My heart is bitter knowing that most people I’m surrounded with didn’t have to grow up living in ghetto places. My heart is bitter when I see people flourishing in their talents that they had the money to practice. My heart is bitter.
And that is why I want to be rich, so my children wouldn’t have to be bitter and hateful like me. Maybe they could be like you, shielded from the world’s troubles and filled with love and optimism.
