Do you ever find yourself feeling insignificant?

Like what's the point? What am I doing here?

What is my purposed here on this earth?

Well, you aren't alone. And you never were.

 

You see we all have these things that

have completely broken us down. 

That we are holding onto inside.

That we don't want to talk about. 

That make us uncomfortable. 

 

And we hold them all in...

Because it makes us feel stronger.

It gives us this sense of control over it.

It's quiet strength. We wear it well.

 

But what if I told you there's more to it?

What if I told you there's more to quiet strength?

That that strength you might feel as a weakness, 

may have another quiet strength in it?

 

You see we're all going through it in our own ways.

And shining your light in the midst of the chaos.

Shows others they can still shine too. 

Even in the midst of darkness. 

 

I had someone thank me for making them smile.

Making them feel safe and seen and heard.

Because they were going through it.

And they needed my light. 

But what they didn't know is that I needed them 

just as much as they needed me.

 

That feeling of insignificance went right out the window,

my problems too went right out the window...

It made everything within me, shine a little brighter. 

You see sometimes you need the darkness, 

to see the light that is already within you.

 

So keep shining, for you and for others.

Because the darkness may feel like its taking over. 

But the light can take over too...
