I grew up in Long Beach most of my life. Ive been around all types of crowds from the good ones to the bad ones. For the most part everywhere I have gone I have shown people love. Sure they say you can be judged as a product of your associations, but nonetheless I have grown out of the bad associations and I have learned a lot about life, friendships and morality. One day all of us will seize to exist. All that will be left of us is our legacy, our reputation, our future loved ones with the memory of our past achievements and actions that impacted this world in small or big ways. I am now 24 years old going on 25 and still have a hell of a lot to learn. Im no saint, nor am I perfect in any way, shape or form. But one thing has always remained the same, and that is that I have always had the most unselfish intentions in my heart for others. See, Ive learned that in recent years society here in southern California(mainly)is plagued with this belief that you have to prove your self worth in order to fit in. Via throwing parties, going to festivals, following trends, having lots of money, getting a degree from a university over a CC, judging others with less opportunity to succeed than others, etc. Now Id be lying if I said I havent lost myself into one if not many of these pretentious categories. Almost all of us have at one point in time if you grew up or lived around here. But theres no justification for it because we were not meant to be on this earth to put each other down for the sake of looking good to others. We are meant to work and strive together and uplift one another as human beings. Point of me saying all this is that Ive come to realize that Ive violated the one rule i was raised to up keep throughout the years Ive lived. that is to always show others love and be kind. Ive recently been hearing rumors about myself and others around this city. Some pretty outrageous ones if you ask me. But regardless I am choosing to pay them no mind. Not because I think Im better than the ppl starting them or facilitating them but because I was raised to be kind to others regardless of their actions or harsh words. Anyways thats besides the point but I had to address that as well. I love this city, everyone I have met in my life and of course my family. But no matter where life takes me I hope I end up here in long beach. I dont hate anyone not even those Ive viewed as enemies in the past years. Im sorry to anyone that I may have hurt, let down or been in altercations with. We are forever growing and learning til the day we pass. I will continue to make certain mistakes for it is in my nature as an imperfect human being. Even though forgiveness isnt always necessary to move on in life. Taking responsibility for ones mistakes or mishaps is! Cheers to bettering ourselves and one another. I love everyone.
