Tell us one thing you hope people say about you.
I know that common answers to this question are “kind, good, caring” etc., and those are all beautiful answers and traits but mine is a bit different.
I hope that one day people will say about me that I was happy. Now, hear me out. You can’t pour out of an empty cup and that’s what many of us forget. Yes, there are people who struggle but still give the best of themselves to others and to make the world a better place, but in the process they drain and lose themselves even more.
When I am happy, at peace, calm, I can be there for people in my life and people that surround me. I spent many years of my life struggling, living in domestic abuse and poverty, just using up every ounce of power I had to not fall apart and it hasn’t given me anything in return.
Now that I am older, I’ve gone to therapy and started working on myself, I feel like I am a better person, not just for myself but for others as well, and it’s all because I became happier and more self-aware.
I don’t think I am there yet. I don’t think I have fully come to a point where I feel happy and fulfilled but it’s a work in progress so I hope one day, that’s what people will say about me.
Don’t forget that my first novel is available on Amazon: Little Rebellion
