FAME

FAME.


I grew up craving it. Intoxicated by it.

They like me. They think I’m cool. They think I’m entertaining. They love me.

I pursued it. I wanted it more than anything.

I would never admit that…


But then… I had it.

A taste. A sample. A little touch of it.

And I found it to be vanity.

And it broke me. It confused me. It made me afraid.


But then… I found something far greater. It was an action.

To serve.

It sounds unappealing.

But to me, there is nothing better.

I want nothing else but to live and die in service of people.

To love and to love them well.

And help. To be the help I wish I had.

To be the embodiment of the help I am blessed and humbled to have received.

Fame. I crave it no longer.

To serve my family. To serve my community. To serve people. And serve them well.
