Some people are so poor, all they have is money.

They give without expecting nothing back. They smile to almost everyone, that cute little smile,  without asking for a favor after, like most people do. They love unconditionally and they support each other while hard and tough moments. They keep faith, no matter what on earth happens, and they got each other’s back. They share almost everything, even the tiny pieces of bread. They’re simple, loving and caring. You call them poor, for god’s sake, who’s really poor? Who goes to bed at night, crying until they have no more tears, even though they’re neither hungry nor thirsty, neither sleeping in the street nor homeless. Richness is not about money or a glamorous life. It’s more about love, forgiveness and compassion, more about generosity, well-being and big dreams. Have you forgiven the ones who hurt you back in time? Have you forgotten them? Have you moved on and left the bad and awful memories behind? Are you happy? Frankly, are you? It was never about Bling Bling and parties, never about how much money you got or what fragrance you’re wearing. For once, look at yourself in the mirror and try to remove that mask you’ve been wearing for damn so long, get to know the real you, the honest you! Speak with yourself about the issues you have and whatever problem you’re in. Try to help yourself because if you won’t, nobody will. Get yourself out of the poverty you’re living in and fill your heart with hope, faith and happiness. Bring joy to your life and don’t expect anyone to do it.
