Growing up, I didn't have a lot and always wanted things. But I was too prideful to ask for anything; I always worked for it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All I've ever wanted, since I was a child, was to do something wonderful.
I know that I always wanted things. I was always proud of my people, proud of my home, but I always wanted more. I think most people do.
My whole life, I've wanted things before I was ready. I was always pushing for the next job, the next success. I was so focused on achieving and the path that I was missing some great point about life.
I had a wonderful mother who wanted my sister and me to have everything, even though money was a very prominent thing we didn't have. But we had a very happy childhood - pretty much ideal, in fact.
I never wanted for anything. We went to Ireland for holidays every year. I was 14 when we first went to Italy. My mum was determined I was going to go to a good school. My mum was an absolute grafter. A real grafter. I got my work ethic from her.
I think, for the majority of my twenties, I was always so concerned with what I didn't have, or what I still wanted.
I suppose I was always very greedy. I was never happy with what we had, and I was always looking for new opportunities.
When I was growing up, we never had much money. My parents were divorced young, but I was always surrounded by loving individuals. They couldn't give us riches, but they gave us their stories, their hearts, and their time.
I always wanted more - more of everything.
I was 20 years old and felt I had a lot to offer, even to myself.
