I love people who go the extra mile for you, like that stranger that asks you if your okay when they see your eyes getting watery or that person that tries hard to make sure they pronounce your name correctly or the lecturer that makes sure everyone understands the course material and doesn’t move on till everyone does, they’re beautiful people and I love them.

Your impact on other people is bigger than you think. Someone still giggles when they think of that funny thing you said. Someone still smiles when they think of the compliment you gave them. Someone silently admires you. The advice you give has made a difference for people. The support and love you've offered others has made someone's day. Your input and opinions have made someone think twice. You're not insignificant and forgotten. Your existence makes a positive difference, whether you see it or not.

And only say what you mean, what you mean is felt much more than what you say.
