hu...mi...di...........ty. i don't think i've ever hated a word this much for a while. but it is SO butt-hot over here.
thanks for the "let's save mai" e-mails. i really do enjoy reading them... so please keep them coming.
don't know how else to say this: THANK YOU.

i've been thinking (now that i have time to be bored for once), a lot about the little things in life. and by this, i mean the "hi" you said to your friend you saw today, the "g'mornin'" you gave your mom this morning, the smile you put on someone's face, the moment your heart jumped when you found out your crush liked you. the things that make the big picture. it's just as important, then, as the product. besides, there would be no product without the reactants, in chemistry terms, and no solutions without the problem.
what if the faintest answer you give someone (and this is carelessly, of course) could change whether or not you succeed in life? what if your own answer became detrimental to yourself? or what if the absence of an answer was the reason why you lost a friend, or if your actions (or the lack thereof) lead to a death of a loved one? each action you take, each word you speak, each emotion you feel sums up to what you have become. the simple smile you gave a week ago is just as important as the talk you had with your friend about the current standing of the relationship. every single second of your life is not wasted. it's not. trust me.
i'm not saying for anyone to watch their every step. i'm just saying to become more aware of the fact that you are constantly doing something that will change your future significantly. and if you don't believe me, count all the times you've smiled at someone and became their friend (or even, best friend). count all the times someone has helped you out in the past. their actions must somewhat reflect your own actions-- maybe you've been a help to them at one point. in any case, be aware that someone, if not yourself, is watching you. and every action, every minute, counts.
thought of the day:
the small make the large.
