A/N: Hello there! I'm back with something happier than last time (not that that's too hard to do :P but anyway)
Here ya go:
The things we leave behind.
A misplaced pencil, a lost glove, a forgotten cup of coffee.
Or maybe, a hand picking up some papers, a calculator for a test, room for a car to merge into a lane.
Or maybe even, a hug for comfort, a joke for laughs and smile on someone's face.
The things they left behind were a baseball cap and a pen and a war won. They left behind safety for their home and peace for those to come.
But maybe more importantly, they left behind a thousand inside jokes about the Hoover Dam, a lot of recipes for blue food, and lot of smiling faces from badly sung songs around a campfire.
-.-
Those we leave behind.
Favorite teachers, fifth grade crushes, the barista at a coffee shop.
Or maybe, an ex-lover, a best friend, the ones who swore they'd never go anywhere.
Or maybe even, the concept of leaving people better than you found them.
The people they left behind was family founded that didn't necessarily start with blood and certainly didn't end with it. A group of misfits who fit perfectly in a camp turned home turned family.
They left behind friends they fought beside, the ones who saw them hurt and helped them back up. They left behind family who cared deeply and loved strongly.
But maybe more importantly, they left behind a young girl who couldn't fight with a sword and ended up being the best of her cabin. They left behind a close friend healed from their support and comfort. They left behind a homeless man with a meal and twenty bucks.
-.-
The things we leave behind don't have to be world changing, a smile is enough of a step in the right direction.
The people we leave behind don't need to have to go through something life changing, a good memory is enough to make someone's day.
In the end, all that matters is that we try to make a positive impact.
They certainly did.
A/N: So what did you think? It's pretty straight-forward, I wanted to write this as a reminder because sometimes we feel as if we're not doing enough. And I want to say that you are, you are all impacting the world in your own way and it doesn't have to be world altering, even a small thing adds good in the world and that my friends is more than enough, you are enough :)
And with that message, I leave you to carve your path and be mindful of the things and people you leave behind as you go through life.
Please Review! I'd love to hear your thoughts! And as always, thanks for reading!
See ya! :)
