Lately I've been thinking about life; who doesn't? Many questions circle my mind such as, "Where am I going to work" and "Where am I going to live?" But the question I find myself asking the most is, "Who am I going to meet?" This has been a question I have always thought about, and not just recently. Humans are social creatures and each come into contact with so many others in the course of a day. For all I know, I could have been walking down the street and passed the person I'm going to marry without, then, not knowing a single thing about them or even their existence! I honestly just think that's crazy! And what's even crazier is the people we actually grow close with and talk to on the daily...why are they in our lives and how long will they be a part of our lives? I have met the most amazing people within my 19 years of living and whether or not I still talk to them or not they served a purpose in my life...right?

The real question I have though is whether or not, no matter if you're my best friend or a bystander, everyone plays a significant role in the lives of EVERYONE they come in contact with. Honestly, no one has a real answer to this question and if you do, please let me know. My take on the matter is that there are people who chose to be a part of you life and there are people who do not. The people who decide to be a part of another's life, I believe, are the people who make the most impact, even if they choose to leave later on.

The people you don't know also make an impact. Someone I know nothing about could do something as simple as holding a door open and can easily make a bad day have some good in it. One of the great things about being human is that we have the power to impact other people in the smallest ways!

It's honestly amazing when a friendship or relationship is made between people. Those are honestly such important milestones whether it seems like it or not. But these milestones don't just happen. We need to act on our feelings and emotions if we ever want to make friendships and relationship with other people, they aren't just handed to you. We can either choose to be bystanders and quite possibly miss out on making the best relationships we might ever have or we can do something!

I think it's safe to say that we meet everyone for some reason whether it's someone making someone else's day, meeting your best friends, or even meeting the person you might marry someday. I think it's also safe to say that it's okay to act on things because if we don't we might regret not doing so later in life. Don't live life in fear!
