This has been said to death I know. Life goes by so fast, I look back and wonder where the last 10 years went, seems like just a blink of an eye. Along the way, we make choices, ones that seem small at the time. but even the smallest stone into a pond makes ripples that echo across the water. Makes me wonder what the next 10 will bring, how many years are left.
I think back on my past, and it seems I spent a lot of time in my life helping people be happy, being there for the ones I hold the closest, sometimes to just be an ear, sometimes to be that goofy fuy that you can't help but laugh at. makes me wonder if when I need someone there will be someone there for me.
I used to wonder if people thought about life and how to make this a better place to live like I did. I understand now that a lot of people don't get much outside of themselves. I think that is sad, So much wonder can be found in people, their thoughts, and human nature. I feel like when I talk to someone, I feel their pain, their happinesses, like I lived the experience. I am coming to the understanding that this is a rare thing, that most people hear, but don't listen.
I think about all the people that have touched my life just by being there, I think that this is a big part of the meaning of life. the connections we make with people in our lifes, The smiles, the tears, the fights, the laughs. When they go, these are all the things that make that one person special, how they touched the people in their lives, and in rare cases bring together people who might not have ever otherwise met. I look back on my life and I think that is one thing I am truly lucky for, being able to have as many special people in my life as I have. The memories I have created that I hope I can hold onto for the remainder of my lifetime. I hope that when my time is up those special people will say that I made some sort of impact on their life like I know they have mine.
