Does It Matter

October 21, 2014
By Anonymous

Everyday I have to ask myself if it matters. Does it matter if noone sees me? Does it matter if I cry myself to sleep? Does it matter if I quit? Does it matter if I just stopped? If I just seemed to disappear? Would anyone notice? If they did, would they care? I let these feeling boil and build under my skin, waiting for the day when the dam of control breaks and I die in the flood of feelings that rush out. And while I wait for it to break I ask myself, does it matter?

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

It does matter. Though, it seems like it doesn't matter and we still ask the qestion does it matter, it does matter. You matter, that's why. It matters if you cry yourself to sleep, and it matters if you quit. Because it makes a difference. You matter, as I've said. You aways have, and you always will; because you do. I can connect to this, so much. Because I asked, the same question, too. And I think, the answer is that it does matter. Our world acts like it does not matter, when really it does; it really does. I love your writing. It is beautiful and wonderful. I love it because it has honesty and rawness and emotion; and because you wrote it from your soul. You have such a talent and greatness and light in you; and you are an amazing and wonderful, talented writer and person. It's true. :) Thank you so much, my friend! For sharing this. :)
