I was once asked what one sentence I would tell the whole world if I could. I was stumped. I don't know. I have no idea of anything I could possibly tell the world that a) it hasn't already heard b) would be at all helpful to anyone, or c) make a difference. What power can there be in a sentence?
Make a difference. Have no fear. Break free. Be inspired. Create. Let yourself be taken into life. Struggle. We all know life isn't easy, but you have life. What are you here for? Who are you listening to? What is your life actually about?
My life can be viewed in two ways: a victory and a failure. Luckily the victory overcame the failure, but this explanation is a pencil scratch on the surface of my life. Life is me sitting here typing. Life is working through the selfishness, sifting the lies, and toiling for a reason.
"Don't give up" sounds too dramatic and cliche. We know not to give up. Sometimes I do anyway, but usually I'll at least try to try. Maybe I'd tell the world it counts. It does count. It does matter. Choice truly seems to be the only thing we have. I don't know the answers, I don't know much at all, but I do know what I'd die for, and in spite of myself, am resolved to live like it.
