Feeling insignificant
I was just googling stuff today, nothing really important, but I came across a blog or two. I had an aha moment where I realized that I am just a teeny splash in the blogpuddle. Okay, I knew this before, but today I felt it. I just comment on random stuff in my life, while people are out there posting about social issues and political or literary commentary and trying to effect change in the world. I am not. I am sure it makes no difference to anyone when I post. In fact, I would guess my whole life has rather little effect on the world at large. I suppose if I stopped planning programs and no one else took over a few people might notice, but would they really care? I think maybe the worst part is that I also realized that complacency is for me a way of life. I don't really have any desire to rock the boat or effect social change. I try to make little differences in the part of the world I touch, but I also try not to care too much if it doesn't work. I'm sorry, maybe I'm just having another "Can I just hibernate?" kind of day. But really I feel rather small and insignificant right now.

But you're not small and insignificant to me, and that's what really matters. It's not whether you affect the whole world, but how many individual worlds you affect. :)
Thanks. :)
