wait less, live more.

i constantly see and hear people complaining and mellowing over the wish that they 'just once meant something to someone'. sometimes i think these sorts of people are purely blinded by their own sorrows. we never actually realise that we mean something to every single person we meet and communicate with on a daily basis. whether it be our mother, brother, cousin, uncle, boss, best friends, neighbour, even our local butcher; our lives have some value to each one of these people. the absence of our presence is often not felt until it is diminished, however we must never forget and be grateful for everything we have in the present. there are so many people who don't have a family or many friends yet each and every day they wake up and are thankful for all they have. so before we start feeling sorry for what we don't have, maybe we should take a second to think about everything we do have and maybe, just maybe, spend a little less time on wishing and waiting and spend a little more time on living and loving.
