To my 25 - 35 year olds, you've reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think it's too late. Don't let that energy rub off on you. It's not too late.
You should be a good person ONLY bc it’s the right thing to do. You will rarely get reciprocity. You can’t model good behavior in hopes of getting it back. Attempting to do so is manipulation. Having character is a choice, & often a lonely one. Be good bc you are good.
