I had nothing special planned for a first blog post, so I might as well post something important to me. This is the quote engraved into my soul that I will always remember. I live by these words.
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." ~Maya Angelou
I hope that whether one person stumbles across this or a million, someone is inspired by these beautiful words as I was. When you truly sit and think about what it means, your world changes; how you treat other people changes. As I tell my friend Christine, "you are a person, and people make mistakes". People are human beings, and human beings are anything but perfect. Flawlessness is only grasped ever-so slightly by those who stand back and think about how they affect others. Because people will never forget the flicker of pain you made their heart feel when you told them something you will later regret.
that was beautiful
