I wanna shine on in the hearts of men; I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand...

You know what's weird? Realizing you've made an impact on people's lives. For the longest time, I felt like I was just skating on the surface. I couldn't see how my life, or even my death would impact anyone. I was so depressed and self-involved, it was nearly impossible to look outside myself and see how I was affecting people. And it's amazing to see now that even the smallest gestures can make a positive change in another person's life.

I have, if not changed, than at least enriched, some lives this year. And that is so, so cool to say.
