The one Turtle

I first created this blog so that I had a way to just write my thoughts down. I didn’t expect to have anyone read it, not even the few that actually do. But it’s cool to see one or two people actually caring enough to read, even when my thoughts may be all over the place. I don’t know, you all may actually understand it, but I highly doubt that. My mind is very complex and if I mapped out it would be a spiderweb with arrows pointing in millions of directions. Anyway, I guess what I am trying to say in a indirect mess of words is that I appreciate everyone reading this right now, you all mean so much to me, whether I know you personally or not! You may not think you make a difference in this world but everything you do matters. This reminds me of a story. Once a little boy was walking the beach and saw a bunch of baby sea turtles in the sand. His mom told him they were leaving and he only got to put one turtle into the water. Later on he was asked why he thought putting one turtle into the water would make a difference. He responded, “That one turtle has a chance to survive, live life, and create a new generation of turtles. That one turtle may not seem like he could make a difference, but he could help save the turtles from going extinct!”

So don’t say he is just one turtle. You may be one person, but it only took one person to say, “What if?” It only took one person to invent the lightbulb, one person to say no I will not get up from this seat because I am of a different color. One person, who did one thing, one person, who went against the normal way of living.

Don’t underestimate yourself or any other, because you can change the world for the better!
