I know so because I’m working myself raw trying to create something better than anyone in my family has ever seen.

I love my family more than anything in this entire universe and I am closer with all of them than anybody else, but when you come from the kind of place I come from and have seen the kind of things I have seen, you, naturally, want something more. Naturally, as well, you’d think that something(s) would not be so hard to achieve considering the nothing you come from, but, in fact, it is one of the hardest thing I have ever done. When you come from nothing, you have nothing and when you have nothing, you are destined to be nothing.

But, here I am. Here I am becoming something right before all of your eyes.

And when I am something, I will remember everyone who was there for me when I not only had nothing, felt like nothing, had nothing to comfort me, had nothing to eat, nothing to wear, nothing to feel, but was nothing myself.

I love my family and I am thankful for the absolute nothing they had to give me, the nothing they showed me, because that nothing was everything in itself.
