Many times people lie on their death beds and reminisce about all the moments they missed or all the moments they wish to live again. There seems to be a universal consensus that there is not enough time in life and it all goes by too fast. This is why our lives matter. Our lives matter because we are placed on this earth, for our limited time, to achieve something. That “something” is all independently determined, but each person’s “something” is equally important. Each person deserves to bring a little bit of their own light to this chaotic world. Without those sparks of light, this world would not be as we see it today. My life matters, your life matters, we all matter. It may not always feel that we can create a monumental change, but each of us has the ability to try and that is why each of us matters. Our power to try and achieve something great defines why each of us matters.
