Thanks, one of my personal drives has always been to use what I have suffered through to help others.

One thing I have learned is to never assume another person knows better or that they have the ability to actually care. Sadly, people tend to evaluate based on how they can use you for their own gains. More often than not people tend to use others for as long as they gain.

I’m not one who followed along with needing to own designer in order to elevate my self worth. I always knew this was a marketing strategy to make someone wealthy. However, that being said I do have an appreciation for the artistic ability of those who can make and design clothes etc A person isn’t necessarily wonderful or great just because they are wearing designer. Actually, often what I have found to be the case is instead entitled and on the narcissistic side.

Have you ever seen a sweat factory where these clothes are made. Did you ever meet someone who worked all day every day at a sewing machine since he/she was just a child? I actually have. They get so they can practically make clothes in their sleep. And they make so little for their labor. So looking at the bigger picture is important.
