“In your darkest moments, it can feel not only as if you are helpless, but as if you may not matter at all. But here’s the thing: Your existence has rippled through the world in ways you may not be aware of. At some point your smile or kind words may have shifted someone’s day, which may have shifted their life or the lives they encountered. No one is an island, and you matter in ways that may not be immediately apparent. Even if you feel like you’ve done nothing at all for this to be the case, it is still true. You don’t have to do anything in order to make an impact; it just happens regardless.”
