Mentality


From the very beginning my own family would laugh at my dreams at our family gatherings and

Crush my heart resulting in me thinking that disappointment is all that life will bring me

Along with insecurities and hesitation which caused me to put myself in isolation.

One day I was simply listening to Adele, Beyoncé, then Bruno Mars.

Next, I came across a song by Hamilton which raised my spirits to the stars.

He says the phrase, "But when you’re gone who remembers your name? Who keeps your flame? Who tells your story?"

I asked myself those three questions and realized I have no story as of yet

Those three questions motivated me to work hard and make a comeback

And show those people who never gave me positive feedback.

Inorder to be motivated, you don't need physical motivation from others;

All you need is just a strong mentaility to show your true colors.
