I live for myself and always have. Even though I have people I care for, and I really am a very caring person, when it comes down to it, we'll always be alone.
When you're trapped, when you're having a mental battle with yourself, you can only go through it yourself, and no one else can do it for you. It's the same with choices.
So, I live for myself, for it is all we truly have until the day of our passing. I live to better myself and pursue my own interests, because everything I am now, started from the ground up. From interior to exterior, from me to the world. I am not selfish at all, or greedy, or any of that. I just remember how I used to be when I was a kid, and how I realized this and through much mental thought and numerous mazes and passages completed, I have come this far, and will continue doing so.
