Making a Change

So many of us take Life for granted...all components of life. Friends, family, careers, resources, etc. Personally, I believe what we take for granted the most is ourselves, our personalities. Each and every one of us is unique and posesses a potential all of our own; yet, we go with the tide and follow the drives and goals of those around us. We aim for a family and a house, a good paying career, and an identity that our society approves of. Do most of us wish to have those things? Yes, but they shouldn't be our main goals in life. Our goals should be to spread our potential, affect the people and environment around us, and better ourselves. We should aim to find our purpose in life, because one's purpose is uniquely his or her own, and use that purpose to change lives...including our own.
Jumble society's standards.

Purpose

I've never been much of a blogger, but lately I have been surrounded by news of suicide and decided to put my thoughts out to those in need. Many people just want someone there to listen, to relate with, to attempt to understand what they may be feeling. I want to be that person. I want to reach out and let my voice be heard, so those whose voices get hushed can find the courage to be heard also. I am here to listen to those who wish to speak up. I am also here to send my messages to those who are looking for that extra motivation to push on forward. Your life is worth it...each and every single one of you.
Speak up, listen up, and rise up.
