I am a believer in ripples.
I believe our lives are ripples of significance for the history of this Earth. Even if only 6 people know us and the lives we have lived the effects we have on their lives is a continuous flow of ripples, some of these ripples are filled with happiness and good intentions, some of these ripples are chaotic and sad.. Whatever they are, they are significant.
Every choice, whether it’s a choice on how we decide to dress, what color our hair is, if we compliment that stranger who’s dress you LOVE, helping someone cross the street, shout at our boyfriend for ignoring us, slap the girl who kissed your beloved, these choices ripple into effect and change the course of history. I know, history is BIGGER than that, isn’t it?! No! No matter how little you feel you matter, there is someone who’s life has been altered completely by the ripples your life has created. Our choices help to define who we were, are and want to be.
I have created ripples of almost tsunami proportions in my short life-time.. Some good, some bad. The ripples I’ve made have altered the lives of myself and those around me, sometimes even just strangers who I’ve met once and never again. There will always be the regrets and remorse for choices made that caused pain and sadness to those who matter, we can’t give up the negative feelings completely otherwise we lose sight of what we’ve learnt.
I believe we can all give ripples of happiness and love! No matter how many ripples that’ve changed the world for the worst.. We can choose to start creating the happy, good ripples. The past does not define the FUTURE! It just gives shape to it, it gives lessons and tips on how to make the future a better place, at least for ourselves and those around us.
And y’know what? We fuck up. We might do what we think is right and it ends up being bad. That’s a life lesson, it doesn’t mean we should give up on the goal of happy rippling! Keep true to yourself and give yourself a break when you make the wrong choices.
My philosophy/life goal / whatever title you want to give it is to ripple my world into a better place. I know I can’t fix the entire world, to think so would be extremely arrogant but that doesn’t matter. What matters is the passion to change our own worlds. To be the change we crave, to keep both feet on the road of happiness and pursue good memories with little regret. Lets BE the change for 2016. Lets see the beauty in others, lets find a silver lining to every dark cloud. Lets be proud for what we have, not what we have not.
I want to be the best person I can be and for all the wrongs I’ve done.. It only motivates me more. Making people smile, letting them see how beautiful/GOOD they are when they feel less than so.. Helping anyone and everyone who needs it, making others happy just by being yourself. Finding beauty in the world when there is so much ugliness.. This is what matters in life to me. This is the ripples that I want my existence to be about ♥
