I am only one of the over 7 billion people on this planet, which makes my life seem insignificant in the grand scheme of things. However, the question is “Why does MY life matter?” The question isn’t asking me to compare myself to others or to gauge how important I am to this world. At first, my response to this question was “I don’t know” but after some more thought I was able to come up with something. Each person has had their ups and downs in their life and I’m no different. I went through a particularly rough moment in my life where I questioned if my life was important. From this experience, I learned that my life matters because I have family and friends that care about me. I am somebody to these people. They love me and I love them. I am also my own person and there is nobody else on this planet that is exactly like me. I am energetic, generous, intelligent, and hard working. I am a daughter, a friend, a book lover, a runner, a fangirl, and so much more. I have so many things I want to do, experience, and accomplish. All these qualities give meaning to my life and that’s why my life matters.
