Journey 2 Zendipity

This will be a short one..

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve looked up people from my past with very little information. For the simple reason, they mattered, our interaction left an impression and a piece of their kindness stayed with me.

I have people that I don’t talk to, maybe only even talked to a couple of times but something about them or maybe something about the way they made me feel about me, that left a hell of an impression and years later I’ll look them up.

I have someone on my LinkedIn who has literally no idea who I am but I met them when I was 6 and he was nice to me when I didn’t know what nice was. Another person that went to a camp with me that saw me when I was invisible to everyone . People that were once friends and then it disappeared. I have tried to find many times people from young childhood that helped me by just being a part of my life. Though we were young, their kindness was the only fuel I had at times

So I look them up anytime I remember names. Why? Because they matter.

Here’s the point.. you matter. those days you choose kindness towards strangers, friends, loved ones, coworkers.. it matters. Especially when you least expect it.

You may feel unseen, unloved, like you have messed up too much, like you carry shames heavier than life. You may feel alone and like no one would know or care if something happened to you but tonight I just want to tell you, those thoughts and insecurities are fucking lying to you.

You matter and the way you treat people matter.

The way we treat people fucking matters.

The way we treat ourselves fucking matters.

Your life MATTERS. My life MATTERS.

You may not know how many people have looked you up or wished they had more information to look you up but that doesn’t mean they haven’t or that you’re forgotten.

You never know the impact you can have on someone’s life, or the honesty, or the anything really. so please hang in there. When you feel like your life is least valuable, hang in there a little longer. When you feel like being an extra douche because you’re having a crap day, hang in there and remember, that too plays a role and impacts people.

You matter. Your actions matter. Your life matters.

Choose kindness.

With love, -K
