Hello there lovelies. :heart:

Today, I wanted to let you know;
You make an impact in people's lives.

Every. single. thing. you do. 
No matter what it is. Whether it is by smiling to a stranger, by hugging someone sad, by talking to someone about your favorite things, even just letting another student sit with you/you and your friends for the day, or for a while. Or even for all of the school year. By doing something kind.

By being you.

It means something to someone. Those little things you do. Those things that you say. You make some people better people, you might influence their decisions, make their day better than it might have been even if it doesn't seem like it. Heck, you might just save their lives, even with one simple gesture or word. 

I have experienced this quite a few times.

Once, I showed a social worker a few of my drawings, one of them being Asaya's old ref sheet. And she thought the name was pretty and said that if she had a daughter, she might name her Asaya.

Another time, I learned what I did for a very close friend of mine, with which I chat every day, or at least try to. 
She wanted to give up drawing, give up Deviantart, give up life...and, she told me, that she always thought of me and changed her mind. (If she reads this, I am sure she'll recognize herself. :heart: )

For the friends that I have made in school; I have taught them to be happy, to appreciate who they are. They told me that if it weren't for me, they probably wouldn't have been proud/happy of being who they were.

And another time; One of those friends used to cut himself, and once, I told him that if he didn't tell someone, I would. And, he told me, he stopped cutting.

Those are some of the reasons why I am glad that I am alive. To be able to help those wonderful people, and more wonderful people. 

So, don't take anything you do, or are, for granted. Because you were meant to be alive, you were meant to be who you are, so you could make a difference, and an impact in people's lives, the way you do. It's an absolutely wondrous and beautiful thing, and while you may not know all of the differences you made in other people's lives, you did, and you still do every day. It may seem like something small, but it gets bigger as you change a person's life, who will in turn, change someone else's life. It's a never ending cycle, one that we probably don't notice much if at all. 

But just know that you do live for a reason. And you are an amazing human being for doing what you do. No matter how small, or big, the task. 

Keep being extraordinary, my dears. :heart:

Have a wonderful day/evening/night. :love:

beautifully said :) I've often tried to think of making a journal like this because there are so many people that go through this website that I admire and love talking to and I can't just assume they know...
