'What-Do-I-Know' Ramblings

Life is like a sick sine curve.
The ups and downs,
The hormone cycles,
The seasons.
Life does what it wants
And we are mere victims
Of its seemingly whimsical ways.
You can be happy.
You can be very happy.
Sadness will come again someday.
It may appear that nothing we do
Can change the fate of this vast world.
And maybe that is true.
Perception is a funny thing though,
For I can see the world improving
And my life with it.
Am I important?
Statistically, maybe not.
Personally, I think so.
How can I make a difference?
I may never end up in a text book
Being memorized by future generations
Just trying to get through their education.
So what?
People around me;
Neighbors,
Family,
Friends.
They all exist
And are equally as complex as I am.
Do they care about me?
Can my actions change their picture of the world?
Maybe.
Who am I to know?
I don't need to know.
To be myself,
And strive towards greatness,
Is all I have to worry about.
I just hope that along the way
I can impact the lives of others.
Positively.
