It makes me sad that people don’t think that their life is important. I’m not judging anyone, I just know for a fact that everyone’s life is important. No matter who you are, you have an impact on me. Your existence effects someone who effects someone who effects someone who effects someone else. You change the world. I’ve seen first hand how someone dying before they are supposed to effects EVERYONE. YOU MATTER. YOU CHANGE THE WORLD. YOU ARE A PIECE OF THE PUZZLE. YOU MATTER. Now you can use the power of existing for good or bad or just being. It’s up to you. BUT YOU DO MATTER. YOU ARE IMPORTANT. YOU HAVE AN IMPACT.
