Make It Happen

These days, it seems like the world is just a huge scary place that we really know nothing about, as if there's danger around every corner. I know, I feel that way every day whenever I watch all of the horrible things that they show happening to the world on the news. But there are also amazing things happening all around us, it just so happens that those are the things that usually go unmentioned. The world wasn't meant to be full of the fear that seems to be ever-present now, it was supposed to be filled with, love, happiness, and laughter; ya know all of the standard things that everyone writes about being the key to a bettering the world and all of that. The truth is though, they're not wrong; we focus way too much on the awful, terrible things that we don't ever see the good. So many of us are so blind and oblivious to everything, and everyone around us; those good things, and those good people. Don't forget those things and those people. In this world of ours we let too many good/amazing/fantastic/wonderful things slip through our fingers and always wonder what would have been, what could have been, how you may have changed as a person for the better. Isn't that what our time here on earth is for? To grow and change, and make as many great things happen as possible, not just for ourselves, but for others as well? Well, absolutely. But, here's the thing, it all starts with you. That sister you can't stand, try to understand her side of things, that friend you haven't seen in the last 10 years, give 'em a call, that girl/guy you let get away, make sure to grab your net and catch them all over again. All I want is for us to live life as we first intended, and if we spend all of our years fearing to go beyond our comfort zones, we will never get anywhere. So what are you still sitting here for? Go on and get started.
