A lot of people complain about not ever having money, but honestly I prefer being poor. It makes the things you do have more valuable. I have seen so many parents try to buy their child's love, but I was blessed with a poor family that loves me unconditionally. I mean, yes I would like to be able to afford a book or two that interests me, but that's what libraries are for. I will never be rich. Nor will I try to be, or fool anyone into thinking I am. My friend Daniel has it harder than my family does, but he is a humble individual. To me being humble is more impressive than having anything you want. I'm just grateful to have such wonderful friends and family. I love you all. You're my family, too. Not my blood kin but those I choose as such. If I had the opportunity to die so you would be spared, and make something of your life, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I heard someone once define love as the willingness to sacrifice everything you have and are for someone else so that they may prosper. I know I'm not perfect. I'm far from it. But my life is pretty damn good thanks to those around me.
