My Lifetime Goals for Love Revolution

To give back, to make a positive impact, to make someone’s day, or to save someone; these are the things I truly want in my life. In a world where there are so many sad and empty eyes, I want to help people find treasures that will replenish that spark in their souls. In a world where life is so short, seeing people destroy themselves due to their self-hatred in turn destroys me as well. I don’t want to die in vain, but to know that my life has been used to save other lives or help them make the most out of it. My ambition is to start a love revolution where individuals no longer take to harming others or themselves due to their beliefs of being inadequate or due to their bitterness that has been caused through any form of hardship they’ve experienced in their lives.

Perhaps we are born again into a different life with the knowledge we have acquired in our current lives, or perhaps there is only darkness. For questions such as these, we have no answers and therefore I don’t take for granted the one life that I am given. It pains me to see so many others in a depressive and apathetic disposition I used to find myself commonly in, hence why I’ve been determined to devote my life and existence to others. I want to reveal to others that even though the outer space is dark, they must acknowledge the presence of the sun, and all the stars that burn brightly. We are the stars in this universe, and we must realize that we ought to use up all of our resources to produce as many waves of extravagant light as we humanly can before our ultimate supernova.
