Woah.Woah. Hold down your horses! I'm not crackin' up and losin' all my grammarintelligence, all right? I'm simply defining what sharing actually is for me.And yes, it's my happy place.
How so?Well, let's start with this simple fact: I was born with a heart that grows and glows every time a part of it is given away. Kinda weird, I know. But I swear with all the universe intact that it's true. Maybe I got it from my dad who actually paid everything in my mom's college tuition expenses. Maybe it started with me not being able to fathom human injustices and such from such an early age. Maybe I just suddenly popped up a sharing bone somewhere. Who knows?
What I'm sure is that there's a different kind of light-heartedness that I feel every time I see people smiling because of how I was able to share something of me each and every time. May it be my knowledge through teaching, things through donating, or time through simple helping gestures. And this is why sharing is actually important to me. It's the fact that I know for sure that I've been able to make a change in someone else' s life even through the simplest act that I could possibly give to people who in dire need of them.
So why am I being all goofy about sharing anyway? Just a few weeks back, a cause called Share Movement actually opened their cause to people who would like to join and be a part of it. Upon seeing those words in instagram was like the stars colliding for me! I've totally been following this cause since the moment I came across them through twitter since I love everything from their why's to their actual outputs. I then applied to be a Writer and an Assistant Event Coordinator since these are the things that are totally closest to my heart.
And voila, imagine me and my high-pitch thrilled voice when I saw this:
Totally amaaaazing right? Well then, let's go to the usual part of introducing what exactly this cause is actually about.
"Share Movement is actually a community of dreamers who offer different opportunities wherein they share their talents, passion, time, energy and resources through giving workshops in order to help another great cause of donating the money earned (either monetary or not) to people who are in great need of these. "
So why was I so stoked to actually be a part of this cause?
1. It hit me off right from the word "dreamer".
If dreamer was a celebrity, I'd probably be her number one fan. I am, as my friends have always told me that they’ve sensed in me, a dreamer right from my veins to the ends of my hair. I live and breathe dreaming for both myself and for the others. Although my dreams for myself are actually rooted in inspiring others to get out there and be their greatest rad self. So…
2. Sharing is my ultimate passion.
Sharing and Inspiring. These are the two things that would maybe sum up my motivational factors in life. I share my adventures in life to inspire others to do the same since I know that this world will actually be a better place once everyone is striving to be the greatest that they can be. A long shot, I know. But at least, I know I'll be affecting at least 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the world's population. I hope.
3. I have a soft spot for the populace.
I grew up as a proud probinsyana. Not a real legit one since our place continues to prosper at every freakin' minute. But enough that I know about its sweet air and gentle breeze. Since I was raised with knowing what poverty feels like at the same time being well-enough that I still get to eat 3 meals a day, I have grown quite an understanding for the people who are running across the poverty line.
In the end, I think helping other people in need truly is a must. It’s not that it’s our responsibility to do just that because of whatever-problem-of-our-country-that-you-may-insert-here but because it makes us happy. It makes us whole to see our fellow countrymen prosper the way we do. It makes living a lot more worthwhile to see yourself make even a tiny bit of legacy in making a difference in someone else’s lives. And I swear there’s nothing else that would make you feel more ecstatic after seeing the smile that you know you yourself have brought upon this other person you’ve helped with all you got.
