I will always be looking back at the things I've gone through, thinking of the struggling people I've seen.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been through a lot of struggles.
I can look back on my life, where there have been moments where things might have gone the other way. Everything is like stepping stones, and I've seen people I admire falter. We're all vulnerable.
When people are struggling, that's a painful place to be in, to not know who you are and where you belong and what you desire.
It's hard to distinguish when I was actually struggling from when I only felt like I was struggling - which was pretty much always.
Whenever I see people in difficulty, I just try to help them. In fact, I believe I have helped over 700,000 people in my life.
The hardships that I encountered in the past will help me succeed in the future.
The people I am most interested in are the ones on the edge of losing everything and falling into the last bit of despair. I'm trying to write about how people exist on that edge and how they can come back.
I feel like I still am struggling in a lot of different ways. I still have to fight for certain things. Certain jobs. At least I'm working and I'm thankful for that.
I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.
I think all the bad things I have been through are in the past. I believe I am on the right path now, dealing with the people who can help me, the right kind of people.
