The World is Big and We all Matter

Dreams can really take over. They sneak up and suck you back into places you don’t want to acknowledge. Just last night, I vividly experienced a moment of time where my subconscious shrieked “act differently you know better!” Certain people, while ultimately forever apart of your past do not deserve a spot in your immediate present. However, these people for as long as they exist in this lifetime, will impact the bigger picture.

I woke up this morning and took a good long look in the mirror. My reflection showed a confident woman, a woman ready to take on the challenges ahead with her ever inquisitive mind.

Being accountable for humanity is a tiring job. But every person, whether they accept this task or not, play a part in our survival. The reality is human beings make tons and tons of small decisions throughout a day. And these decisions impact the quality and even duration of life. No one really knows when the most mundane of tasks and the likely choice to ignore it creates a catastrophic downward spiral spinning the equilibrium out of whack. All humanity matters. As should the idea that there is a happy medium between the ‘self’ and the ‘community’.

I believe it takes a deeper kind of love and commitment first and foremost to oneself in order to understand the love and commitment involved in a community.

This all starts with a simple exercise. Look at yourself in the mirror and ask this simple question. If I stepped back and was outside myself, would I truly be friends with the person I am? I view the constant battle to respect oneself a hassle for a lifetime. But rest assured that by living to see another sunrise, there will be people that make the struggle worth it. That give a purpose.

The moral of this string of thoughts. Love yourself. Love your Community. Be proud to be part of humanity, a world where everyone makes a difference.
