" 'But don't you think it's possible...' -I twisted up my face- '... that every person is a hero to someone else?' I said." ~Waiting for Normal, Leslie Connor

I read this book about 4 years ago, and something about this sentence, from the whole book, stuck with me.  I guess it made me feel like I could possibly be more important than I had ever thought I was before.  Maybe there are people who look up to me, I realized.  Maybe it's true that my life affects more people than just me.  That one really got nailed in.  What you do affects others.  True, mistakes are still made, they always will be.  But when it comes to vital decisions, this realization can make such a difference.

I think it's insane how one sentence can mean so much to a person, how it can change their whole way of thinking, urge them to make a difference, or take action and do what's right.  It can force them to think of things in ways they never would've.

This is an oddly short first blog post for me.  But I really have nothing else I can think of to say other than words have a force so strong, anything can be created out of them and anything can be altered by them.  Is it good or bad? Both or neither?



Makes you think.

More to come.
