Fighting For A Change

Life is so good right now.
If this is a dream (if it is, it's the most vivid dream I've ever had) I don't ever want to wake up. 
Through all the negativity, through the rain, through the pain, through the fire. Friends, REAL friends, still continue to be next to you, while you go through ALL that. The feeling that you can really rely on someone is unique...
Nothing can make someone feel better more than helping others. Many think, that no one in this world is to be trusted. That we're all enemies. That all this is a battle. 
That's why the society in my country is bleeding. No trust, no will to lend a helping hand to those who need it the most. As a wise friend said, the problem lies in the society. It's not just economical. The society is rotten and people like me, who NEED to help others, smell the corpse of this country, slowly decomposing. Many pretend, they try to convince themselves nothing is happening. But as this country turns into ashes, we only try to spread that fire. If we don't help others, how can we help OURSELVES? How can we live our lives, knowing that we live only to please our own desires, which are greedy & ruthless? How can we live, always pointing our fingers at someone else, blaming them, but never blame ourselves ? Why can't we stop talking and start DOING things? I can't figure out how so many people are blind.... 

Friends are not sure if they should trust each other. I believe that true friends have to give everything to their friends. Friends are one of the best things in the world. The term friend, is now misconceived. Friend is the person that is willing to make YOUR PROBLEMS, equally important to his own, if not more. This type of friend is a breed that is almost close to extinction.
However, as I found out these past 2 years, some friends are different. Real friends do exist. You experience, exchange things with them. But no one asks for a reward. We are rewarded by seeing our friends smile.... We feel good, when they do. If you don't feel like that, you're not a true friend.
My life changed so drastically this year, that I don't even recognize myself. And that happened because someone believed in me. Showed me I mean a lot to some people. Showed me I can do things. I can make a change. 
I wanna thank 3 people, without saying their names; they will understand. I would never expect to be who I am. I feel so strong, so happy. And it's all because they're by my side and as long as we help each other, we're happy. We change each others life.
Guidance is all we need. I want to thank the person, that believed in me more than anyone, and with his guidance, changed me to who I am today. I was lost. I was hopeless. But I found my way. And if the way is not paved, I will pave it. 

Right now, when we're in need of support, because we all know bad times are coming, how can we not work as a team, a FIST and make a change? We need to wake up and take action. We need to stop being selfish. 
And that, doesn't come from someone pretending to be perfect, trying to point out other people's mistakes. That comes from someone that did take action. Maybe on a personal level, but before you say it's too small, remember the butterfly effect. A small change, can trigger a mechanism that makes a lot of changes. Huge ones.... 
Imagine if we all made a small change every day. This world would be a better place. 

So, here I AM. 

A little butterfly. I'm flapping my wings.... Hoping for a CHANGE.

And I am not  talking about a small one.
