Heather’s World in Review

I enjoyed reading the news and having opinions about things. But the more I read and the more things that I see happening in the world, the more helpless I feel as an individual.

I’d like to think that sharing my thoughts could help improve things overall. But I always fail to remember that there are so many more people out there that don’t see things through my eyes. I feel stupid when I realize I put my thoughts out here when I know that anyone can see them. People may or may not agree.

But in the end, I am not doing this for the benefit of the people out there somewhere. I am doing this to, at the very least, help myself. Sometimes just being true to yourself – even if you look the fool – is a lifesaver.

I live in a place where I do not feel comfortable being myself or sharing my opinions with others. It makes me miss my days of living in the big city where I could be happy and true to myself. Sure, I was one of the many millions of people. But, I was not alone with my thoughts or opinions. I never felt alone.

Maybe I will write here often. Maybe I won’t. I haven’t decided what I am going to do here. I just know that I stopped writing because I started to feel weird about sharing a part of me that I usually don’t share with people. I might not have said much overall, but I shared a piece of me that I in general never share.

Now about the news recently? A lot of it has been depressing me. I see so many bad things that go on in this world. Some things are caused by people that harm other people. Some things are caused by freak events that couldn’t have been prevented. So many things going on that we all just don’t know about.

I need to find some way to help improve the world. I might not be able to help the main masses, but maybe I can find some way to benefit even just a handful. I’ll figure something out. I need good news in this world. I am sure there are others like me out there that want to see good news and help spread some happiness and joy out there to even just one person.

Everyone deserves to have a reason to smile.
