One word can change a life, One action can change a day, One thing can change the world. Listen to your heart cause it will never guide you in the wrong direction. Go out of your way to help someone, cause when you do you will feel good about yourself. Always listen to someone in need because who knows when your gonna need there help. Live life to its fullest. These are all words I live by. I have lost many things and have gained alot. I still have alot to learn about myself and this world. But there is one thing I am sure about and that is that everyone needs someone. I want to be that someone for everyone. I mean at some points I think the weight of the world is impossible to bare but when I think about it....its not so bad. Knowing my friends are happy makes me happy. Knowing they know at least one person cares about them makes me able to sleep at night. I know I am human and have made my share of mistakes and there is no way I can change them. So all we can do as humans is learn from them and make sure that they never happen again. Someone once told me that when your depressed you should take that feeling and do something positive with it, because when you do someone will thank you and you will feel better. This is true but also I realized its not just when your depressed. It can be used when you sad, angry, hurt, or lost. And you don't have to be thanked. Knowing you helped, knowing you made a difference is good enough for me. People need a hero of some sort. Just being there, listening to them, can help save them. You don't have to be someone to run into a blazing fire or fight in a desert. Just being there for them will make you their hero. I have only been on this earth for a short amount of time, and yet I know so many people. When you meet a person I like to think you impact their life alittle bit. What I have found from this is that so many people feel alone, isolated, and unloved. Yet I want to prove to them that there are people who care out there. Who want to be there for them when they fall. To help them back up and tell them its ok. I found others who hide their secrets away and let pain consume them in a quiet corner. But I too am guilty of this. I know they think that if their friends find out they will worry and it will cause problems. But the truth is they will worry more if you don't tell them. In the past few weeks there has been alot of pain in my life. Friends dieing, family problems, friends disappearing but there is more out there that goes beyond this problem. There has been so much controversy. There have been senseless deaths and stupid hate crimes. I just don't understand why if we look different we deserve to be hated. Just cause on the outside we may all seem different, we are all the same on the inside...we are all people. This world sometimes doesn't make alot of sense. Thats why we must all come together and become one. Forget if you have differences with one another. Forget the pain each one of you have caused another. Just look at the world. It's falling apart. We all need each other now more then ever. No one deserves to be alone. We must all bear things, we must all believe in all things, we must keep hope, we must endure things, and we must love everyone. We are all people. we all breathe air and we must take care of each other. I know in the past I have been a child about many things and I realize I must grow up. I just can't stand seeing people fighting anymore, talking behind others backs, and keeping their own personal pain inside. We all need help. Thats why I ask of all of you to listen more and not quickly judge others....To all those who took the time to read this I thank you. Even if you don't take it to heart, if you choose to ignore it, I still thank you. But if you choose to take these words and use them everyday then thank you for being someones hero.-Kenneth Anthony Stewart Kohlhof November 25, 2008
