Yes it's another insight into my mind.

The thing that would probably touch you or change you the most
Is if you had someway of looking at your everyday life.
Most people think about their lives daily.
It's not the same.
In time - your views will probably change along with you.
If you think about things people do, it is kind of the same.
They take what they may think is a great thing and store it away.
After months, sometimes years - they comeback and see how they did.
Some people are truly happy with what they had before,
But others try to improve on what they had before - and try to make it better.
If you said something today out of emotion - or action,
And came back two months from now,
Do you think you would feel good with what you've said?
Or if you could come back a few years from now and see how you acted?
Everyone acts the way they will act.
I am not saying the way anyone acts is wrong.
It can be someone who is sweet or is mean (to put it nicely)
If you had some way of grasping the way you thought about things,
A few years ago, and the way you acted,
And how it effected people and the impact it had on people,
Do you think that you would have done everything exactly the same?
If you can actually do that,
Without having to look at a journal or anything at all, then that's great.
Or if you can talk with your friends and find out how you acted,
Keep in mind not all friends would tell you how you really acted.
Some friends are just pleasers & others are true friends.
If you find a friend who may have known you,
And can possibly act as a neutral then maybe you can start to see
The mistakes you have made.
It is only then at that time, where you can begin to change.
If you choose too.
Most people have enough impact on at least one person
That if that one person was thinking of committing suicide,
They would be the reason not too.
Suicide is just an example of course,
But unless you know someone really good
You probably won't ever figure out how much you mean to that person.
Many times people proceed in life, not knowing
Exactly how much they mean to someone.
That's just fine by me - not as many ego's.
And if that isn't enough, then how much of an impact of what they say and do can change someone's life.
