How would you describe yourself:

I try and remind myself that I'm not the point in life and that there are some things greater than my own wants or desires. Hopefully that opens up the door to love others and be more attentive to their needs.

Do you remember that one time when the crowd was chanting my name and I used my strength to rip my blouse?
