As I have grown and experienced all that life has to offer me so far I can most certainly say that my life matters but that was not always my thought process. Throughout a large portion of my life I was convinced that I was just a spec in the galaxy and despite that being the case back then this acknowledgement meant that I was insignificant. For so long I ignored the idea that “everyone has a purpose in life” or that “we were put on this earth for a reason” because I did not think much of myself in this universe. It was not until I witnessed others feeling the way I felt that I realized my life mattered. I was able to fully grasp this concept of my life mattering due to the way someone else’s notion of themselves made me feel because it made me reflect on how much of an impact we may be able to have on others. In life we can not make it through alone successfully. We are not able to thrive without the support of one another and this concept of being there for someone else when they need it the most allows me to understand why my life matters and despite there being many more reasons than this, I believe this one is one that many do not acknowledge.
