          Alright. Here I am again. Wanting to write about... well,  I don't know yet. But something. I'm a bit of a scatterbrain, but I'll try to connect my thoughts somehow.
           Okay- I am so passionate about helping others. And I love it when others do the same. But something's been bothering me. Time and time again, when  people talk about working in soup kitchens, helping at the SPCA, or some other form of volunteering, they are asked why they do it and their answer is, "Because it makes me feel good," or "It makes me a better person,". Something to that extent. And the truth of the matter is, that's a horrible reason. Think about it. People in their backyard and around the world are in need and one's reasoning shouldn't be based on how helping others, benefits himself. It's so selfish. Want to know my reasoning? I'm sure you're on the edge of your seats. Well, I do not just do it because its nice. I do it because it's the will of God. Sounds cheesy I know. But it is so important! Times have come where I do not feel up for helping others. When it does not make me feel good and I continue on anyways. Because it is NOT about me or my feelings. It's about being selfless and focusing on others. And I write this not only for others, but because at some point I may forget this and need to read it to receive a swift kick in the pants. 
          I realized I'm not great at writing, as you can clearly see. So maybe I shall switch to video blogging. I simply don't know yet.
Till Then, Morgan Paige.
