You know..it was a miserable morning. Waking up around four, going to work in the stock room whose heater hasn't been fixed for six years now. It was messy. A lot of people tend to leave things around for us to pick up. Three of my coworkers were so very sick and the manager on duty was miserable herself. So I wandered away during my break and came back with donuts and hot chocolate. Something happened then. We stopped, all of us. Just for a moment we sat back, began talking, laughing even while we shared them.
Suddenly it all seemed so much simpler. The work went by quickly and we all kept on talking through it. We're momentary creatures, in a sense of constance and monotony..but I want you to know something. Each and every one of us has a heart inside ourselves. The kind that is hurt, that feels like things don't change. That wants to laugh and smile still even when it believes small victories are too far and few. That becomes the work we were raised for, that we were taught for, that we live for.
But the heart remains even if we forget the things that make us happy. Otherwise we would never smile again now would we? It's easy to sink away into the world and become so earthly you might feel the dirt is safer. The sad truths that surround us, the unhappiness, the impatience and loosening of the ropes holding ourselves together can sometimes be the most harmful things to us. But I want you to know something. You can always make a difference in the smallest of ways.
When you feel the world is dark, I want you to shine. When you find your heart is hurting, I want it to leak love out to others. Don't let the sad truth remain the sad truth. You can do this...and you're not doing it alone. Never alone. All you have is time.
