You Are The Good Thing

When you become sad and take on all the woes of the world it can be exhausting. Everyone struggles and it gets to you after a while. Dark clouds seem to follow you around, life is hard. Life can be mediocre and never any days of glory. Endless drama, constant suffering, dismal existence. Pessimistic attitude and never acquiring peace takes its toll on everyone.

Whatever life throughs at you and how you view it affects all of us. You need to know this, you are someone’s sunshine. You may be the reason someone else can make it through the day. My oldest wrote a story of a girl that was contemplating her miserable life. She had daily patterns that had her reflecting on the mundane tasks of everyday. The character in the story was so tired of this life and her loss of self worth. After stretches of time of dealing with such a tedious repetition and questioning her value. A value that she perceived, she received a call from an unlikely person and they struck up a friendship. This friendship changed her. It was revealed at the end of the story that the one who reached out, did so because she viewed this supposed boring girl as the funniest person she knew and this friendship was one that saved her from a very sad ending. In a brilliant plot twist, the girl receiving the call had decided not to go ahead with an attempt in her own life because of the call.

Your existence means something to someone. You may not even know it. You can go through a thousand things and feel that you do not matter, you do. It is a plot twist, because half the time, it could be someone that doesn’t even speak to you. There is someone in this world that admires you. They watch from the sidelines and take comfort that you share the same world as them. People can see the real you. You may even do it yourself. Never hold back compliments, never stop building others up, try compliments.. start with a greeting, start with a smile.
