There’s so much that makes me cry,

but there’s also so much that makes me laugh.

We are bodies of wonder

that have the power to hold so much goodness

and light.

Oftentimes though,

we get sidetracked by life

and the several obstacles it hurls our way.

But when you think about how

they come your way because you can overcome them

and learn from them,

then things don’t seem so hopeless anymore.

Though this doesn’t work every single time,

there are times where it manages to fill me hope;

a hope which I then wish to fuel the world with.

I believe that if I just manage

to make even one person’s world better

and more bearable to live in,

then I’ll consider my time spent well worth it

here on this beloved mother ship Earth.
