"What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable?" - John Green

 

I think my biggest fear is getting to the end of my life and realizing that I did nothing remarkable. I want so desperately to leave my mark on the world and on people's hearts. I want to be someone who has helped people and built them up. I could not imagine going through my life having not changed someone else's for the better. The problem is I don't know if my own light is truly bright enough to begin to light others, and that is a scary thought. But I know that all of the times in my life when my light has been dimmed have just prepared me to meet someone going through the same thing. And then maybe we can take comfort in the dimness of our lights together, and through that alone I can feel as though I have made a difference.
