If tomorrow never comes, would I feel like I’ve lived my life the best way I can? Did I do enough? Did I tell people how much I love them, did I change someone’s life to the better, did I influence anyone.
Did I make a difference?

Today is one of those days where I feel like there’s so much that I want to do, it scares me. I wonder sometimes if what I’m doing is meaningful, if it’s necessary or important. Maybe I’m having a bit of an existential crisis. Maybe I’m a little lost. Maybe a part of me wants to give up. Maybe my monsters still need more training.

“If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart.. I’ll always be with you.”
– Winnie The Pooh

One thing that constantly pulls me through a time like this is the love of the people around me. Brooke always quoted Winnie The Pooh in her classes and she often talked about how Winnie The Pooh quotes lift her up. I remember her, her love and support. And every single person that believes in me and I just don’t want to let anyone, including myself, down.
