This is life: the beauty is there, and then all the time, every minute, a little piece of heaven falls right into your hand. You just have to open your palm and accept it.

There's gonna be one less lonely girl

I have had so many people say to me..."Why do you bother? You're never going to change anything?" But it honestly doesn't matter to me. I know that I won't be able to change the world, but I can change the world of one person. That's why life matters.

Life is about the individual. I will bend over backwards for other people, even if they don't ask. I think that the most important trait to develop is that of making those around them feel valued, loved, and beautiful. It doesn't hurt us to look outward. David Baldacci said in his book Wish You Well
"There is nothing so powerful as the emboldened kindness of one human being reaching out to another, who is held only by despair."
It's true. It's one of my favorite quotes because of that. And it's a very good book. But back to the quote. There is nothing so powerful! No matter what our circumstances: rich or poor, black or white, old or young, male or female, popular or a loner, beautiful or plain, religious or agnostic, we can be kind to those around us. Samuel Johnson (no idea whatsoever who that was, but he must've been amazing) wisely stated:
"Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not."
No matter what our feelings toward them, we can be kind to each person we meet each day. This is my star. That it doesn't matter how terrible our day is or how wonderful, it will be always be made better by kindness. Kindness is the greatest of human virtues.
