There is power in everything we say and do. There is power in merely existing.
If you didn’t exist, many lives would be different. Not just your parents’, not just your friends’. Even the lives of people you will never meet would shift in ways unseen.
You don’t have to be extreme to make a difference in the universe. Impact doesn’t require spectacle. It can be subtle.
You can compliment someone and change the trajectory of their day. You can make a piece of art that moves someone to action. You can quietly do the right thing when the rest of the world has run amok, setting an example simply by refusing to harden.
You can exist as your true, vulnerable self, openly and confidently, and in doing so, provide a space where others feel safe to do the same.
It all matters.
