"If everyone cared and nobody cried,

If everyone loved and nobody lied,

If everyone shared and swallowed their pride,

Then we'd see the day nobody died. 

And in the air the fireflies,

Our only light in paradise.

We show the world that they were wrong,

And teach them all to sing along."

--Nickelback "If Everyone Cared"

 Dear Diary,

I have something on my mind tonight. I don't really want to get into details.

I just thought I would talk to you about this, diary.

I thought I would talk to you because I am upset.

I really try. I really try so hard. I try to be a good person.

I try to do what is right. I try to be kind.

I try to be grateful and generous.

I try to be thankful.

The thing is, though, I will never truly be able to show everyone how thankful I am for all of them, and all that they do for me.

All I can do is try.
I can pay it back.

But, the truth is, I will never be able to show everyone how much they mean to me, how much they truly help me, and mostly how much they inspire me.

It does not take a nation to change the world. All it takes is one person, and the simplest things can mean the world to someone else.

This what we are here for. It may not be our whole plan and destiny, but being kind is whats makes us who we are. 

Helping others is part of humanity.

It's a part of each and every one of us, but sometimes people get lost a long the way.

It's not enough to do something for attention or because you think you should.

That's not enough.

You need to do things in anonymity. 

Do things that nobody knows about because you want to, because it's the right thing to do.

Don't brag about it. Don't expect gratitude or even a thanks.

Do it because you care.

Do it because you love.

Mostly, do it because it only takes one person to start changing the world.

Sometimes, it frustrates me. It frustrates me when people do things with ulterior motives.

But, I'm starting to think, that people like this need our kindness and positivity the most.

I think I'm realizing that I need to change the way I look at people who make me upset.

When someone is unkind, it should just give me more of a reason to be kind to them.

I need to realize that instead of getting upset, I should show kindness towards them.

Positivity is contagious. We just need to take the initiative to show people. 

It's so simple to show someone a little positivity.

A smile, a few nice words, or even a simple act of kindness can do this. 

I think Gandhi had it right when he said to "Be the change you want to see in the world."

If we want others to be kind, we must kind ourselves.

We must show everyone how we see the world, if we want them to take their shades off.

We must be the change.

Love Forever and Always,

Me
