Being true to yourself Quote by Shirley
“When I give, it does not come with strings, I'm not keeping track of what you owe me. When I give I choose to do so without ulterior motives. I give because I know what it's like to be without, to long for to be ignored, to speak and not to be heard, to care for and have nothing returned. When I give because I get it, it's because I know the value in what I have in my heart and I refuse to let anyone to stop me from sharing that. But when start being taken for granted, when no longer appreciate my sincerity. I won't switch, I won't get angry and I won't be spiteful. I'll just get smart because when I give all in it's from my heart.”
