I found this blog today, somehow through a networks of other sites, all while avoiding studying chemistry (which, yes, I'll get to soon). I was thinking about participating in the NaBloPoMo monthly challenge, but spring break through that out the window. And although I don't think I really want to get involved in the challenge, I do want to post something along the lines of option three; it got me thinking.
Everyone influences your life in some way, some people are just easier to recognize than others, and some are just easier to blame. Every little thing that happens in our lives molds who we are and who were going to be- like a ripple in a pond when you toss in a pebble, everything we interact with is an influence on who we become. I can name a few major influences on my life, both positive and negative. These people are the ones I can specifically tie large parts of my behavior or personality to, such as my parents, teachers, and friends. However, at the same time, I can attribute so many things to people I don't even know.
Personally, I want to be a positive ripple. I want to make big differences, and inspire waves of changes; but even when I'm not trying to do something major, I'm trying to do something. Even just holding the door for someone can change their day.
Just be kind, it makes a world of difference.

"Just be kind, It makes a world of difference."
That's MY girl!
I love you and am so proud that you can recognize that the way you act/ react does influence people directly and indirectly. You at your young age are wise beyond years. So many people never learn that lesson in life or simply choose to ignore it uot of self consumption. I am so proud to see that in you and that you are willing to share that with the world!
I LOVE YOU! Mere
