Remembering...

Tonight is a night for reminiscing. I found myself pulling out my boxes of old letters and cards from ages past. It is something that brings a mix of emotions. On one hand, I get to smile and laugh at the crazy times that I have shared with so many people. On the other, it brings just a hint of sadness because I have lost touch with so many of the people in the letters I cherish. It is a picture of what life is like. We come in contact with so many people on a day to day basis. Some we simply pass by, some we know for a brief period, and others will make an impact on us for a lifetime. The letters that I looked through tonight, each of those people made an impact on my life. While in some cases our time together was short, they are people that I truly cherish the time we had together. I want to be that person. When I meet someone, I want to make an impact on their life. I want to be a person that leave an impression. I want people to see that there is a difference in me. I want it to be such a difference that it causes them to ask what causes the difference. I want to stand out among the crowd. I want my life to be like a letter that someone stores in a box to go back to remember the difference a simple moment can make.
