As we all go through life, everyone makes an impact on each other great or small. Just a simple smile to that girl accross the room could have had her wondering about that stranger who gave her a care. As we all have seen, some footprints tread heavier than others. Those that mark the heart with passion and enthusiasm lasts a lifetime. So in that case, one should also learn when to let go. As for everyone who said they cared for each other, some trails are meant to end. Yet as long as both hearts still beat, they shall be with each other. We give a part of ourselve everyday - receiving both rejection and acceptance. So in the end, as we all walk away, keep in mind that we decide on the mark we choose to leave behind.
