My Philosophy

There are those who give and give and those who receive, and there is a thank you here and there. But the most important thing is the feeling of love through giving. If I have learned anything from this I life I live in, it is that you can give without loving, but you can not love without giving.Throughout my life I have received and have been given gifts and this and that, and not once have I ever given to those who needed it right back. I've talked about my life and made things all about me, I have never given someone the time to talk. I've shared my feelings to those and used them in order to express my feelings to, but never did I let them know I'm here for them to talk to. After realizing that not once I had not given to those who have given so dearly to me, after horrible accounts of my mother enduring a heart attack and see those in my family cry who I have not wanted to see cry was when I thought to myself that, I have received so much and now is my time to give back. Even though at an early age I was I knew that I needed to give more and receive less. I have listened to those who needed the help, I have let people express themselves to me and who have talked to me for hours on end. I have given gifts to those who didn't even do anything to get them but in my heart I knew they deserved it.Even if the simplest thing is to listen to someone talk about their day, even though it may seem painful, it's not as bad as you think it is because you may have the same thoughts on your mind as well. Don't worry if you they are sad or feeling down because to them you were there to listen and understand and there to give to them what no other would do. Now that I have reflected on my choices and life decisions, I see that my life is better than others and I give because of it. I give love and happiness and compassion to those who deserve it because they don't get it enough then they actually do. Although it may seem a bit cliché, you can give without loving but you can not simply love without giving.
