hope.

Most of us will spend time letting our heads fill up with troublesome thoughts of the past, experiences we cannot erase, conversations we shouldn't have started, and wonder if they will ever come to deeply affect our future without ever stopping to remember there is also a present at play. You can torture yourself over the irrevocable or you can simply try and learn to let it go; it is what we do in the here and now, not that which we cannot change, that will shape the rest of our lives - for better or for worse. We should never let our hope and ambitions enter a moribund state, we should never fear fate or karma or question what it is we truly deserve; even the darkest pasts have a right to see the light one day.

I think deep down, in this vast world we share, we're all just a little scared of being irrelevant. If you were suddenly plucked from Earth would it cause a fracture or would life simply carry on, the planet revolving on its axis, just as it always has and how it will long after you're gone. There is nothing wrong with feeling small or insignificant in the face of the cosmos; we are but a mere ripple in time; one grain of sand lost amongst a small cove in a landscape of vast beaches. We are relevant though, to someone or something at least, you will be the reason a smile is seen on a face out there today even if you never get to know it.

It is all simply a matter of perspective: do we accept that to the world we are nothing, or do we create our own world where we can never feel insignificant again. What will come to pass has always been down to what you do today, tomorrow, the day after that but never yesterday.
