Sometimes, when I can't sleep I stay up late and listen to artists rap about how depressed they are. How they never could imagine, in their wildest dreams, how incredibly worthless money would be. No matter how big the house or car, if your soul is empty, so are you. I hear the disappointment in the lyrics when they try to tell us that if this is as good as life gets, then maybe everything they left behind wasn't worth it. I learn lessons. I learn to treasure people, and never let money get in between me and those that I love. Yes, money is very important, but it could never love you back. I was taught at a very young age that it is impossible to love inanimate objects. I will never compromise my happiness for money. I won't fall into the trap of this crazy society. That being said, I know that I will be successful in whatever I put my heart in. I will love who I am, and what I do. No one would be able to tell me I'm not the most rich person in the world.
