A NEW ERA.

as the colder months approach: i wish you all a healthy, calm end of the year. i wish you tasty cups of tea, comfortable clothes, warm beds, nutritious meals in safe homes, good music, new friends and unwavering health. you deserve good things now.

Your impact on other people is bigger than you think. Someone still giggles when they think of that funny thing you said. Someone still smiles when they think of the compliment you gave them. Someone silently admires you. The advice you give has made a difference for people. The support and love you've offered others has made someone's day. Your input and opinions have made someone think twice. You're not insignificant and forgotten. Your existence makes a positive difference, whether you see it or not.

It's okay to make mistakes as long as you learn from them. If you wouldn't do it again, whatever wrong you did won't keep defining you. If you learned your lesson, you're allowed to forgive yourself.

Even if you can't see it yet, you add something important to this world. Every time you smile at someone, you make a difference. Every time you create something, whether it's fanfic or vent art, you make a difference. Every time you listen to someone, you make a difference. Every time you make someone laugh, you make a difference. Every time you do someone a favor, you make a difference. Every time you help someone out, you make a difference. Every time you speak up, you make a difference. Every time you express yourself and let others express themselves, you make a difference. Every time you take care of your pet or your loved ones, you make a difference. It may just be little things - but little things add up in the long run and it's good that you're here!
