I was thirteen when I set my goals for one ambition.
But my parents laughed at me at the thought of saying they won't help me in such silliness.
--
Then I was fifteen when I decided to save up money for the future.
But my friends used it as an advantage for them to borrow.
--
Then I was seventeen when I got my first job.
But my brother said that I was only doing this for attention.
--
Then I was 19 when I decided to avail a bank account for my money.
But no one bothered to help me.
--
Then I was 21 when I advanced into college.
But my parents once again belittle my ability as an independent.
--
Then I was 23 when my parents kicked me out of our house because of gossip that wasn't even true.
But then again I was helpless.
--
Then I was 25 when I got my college degree and got a job in a company.
But then my co-workers made fun of me for I was new.
--
Then I was 27 when I met the man of my dreams.
But then people starting to call me a flirt and a user.
--
Then I was 29 when I married the man I love.
But this time was different, no one criticized me, my family was starting to reconnect, my friends were reaching out, my co-workers were respecting me and people starts to adore me. Why?
Because I became the CEO of my own company and my husband a multi-billionaire business tycoon.
--
They started to ask me favors on lending them money but why would I? When they didn't even take part in my hard work.
--
They started being sorry for what they did before but why would I forgive them? When I already kneeled and said nothing but the truth they still pushed me away.
--
They started being so caring and supportive but why would I do the same? When all I did was do that back then without receiving anything but hate and criticism.
--
They started offering help I don't even need but why would I give them attention? When did I ask for help where were they?
--
They started to reach out and wants to have some friendly time but why would I? When all that coming from is plasticity.
--
'When someone isn't part of your struggle, they aren't part of your success' that's what Dhar Mann's video said.
--
My ambition was only to change the world and the sick mindset people have but I guess cruelty, judgments, and plasticity still conquers.
