He wrote my mantra
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’m genuine. I give because I know what
it’s like to be without, to long for and be ignored, to speak
and not be heard, to care for and have nothing returned.
When I give it’s because I get it. It’s because I know the
value in what I have in my heart and I refuse to let the
world stop me from sharing that.
But when things start being taken for granted. When you
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 and I’ll
change your role in my life. Because when I give, I’m all in.
But when I’m done, there’s no looking back.

I had to share this, I could not have said it better.
