Over the years, I've helped many people, but I've become much more selective about who I invest my time and energy in. The lesson in loyalty really hit home for me in 2001, when I suffered my first stroke. In that moment, when I needed help the most, many people disappeared from my life. The only ones who remained were my mother and father. I was in the ICU on life support, and during that time, I remember my two sisters asking if they were included in my will. It was a painful realization that many people only valued me for what I could provide them, with nothing in return for my kindness.
Through this experience, I learned that loyalty isn’t guaranteed by blood, relationships or friends but earned through genuine support. The only people I could truly count on were my parents, so I made sure to take good care of them until they passed away. After their loss, I moved to Thailand in 2013 to start anew and create a life for myself. Now I am happily married in Thailand enjoying more life for less money having peace of mind.
The hardest lesson I’ve learned is that, in the end, you have to pick yourself up and become your own hero. It’s not easy, but it’s the only way to move forward never stopping until your last breath.
