character.

rexie cat. a miaw with character.

character. how would you define it?

i'm from that generation where if you wanted
something more, you had to work hard for it,
nothing came easy and fast, and that's acceptable.

we were never entitled to anything, we didn't
expect to be given this and that, and we certainly
had no problems taking the hard route to success.

so that's something i value highly; character.

i like people who don't take the lazy option,
people who when they are given the chance to
go down an easy but negative route, they decline.

they still find it in themselves to take a harder route,
to put in effort and make themselves better instead
of choosing to put someone else down, but more
importantly, to have a bit of understanding and
empathy and have a sense of humanity within.

someone with character is a testament to
that person's positive upbringing, the hardship
they went through and their will to be better.

and i've been fortunate enough in life to have
not only known people with character, but i
also have the privilege to call them my friends.

i hope it says that way.
