A Different Kind of Truth

             Sometimes all it takes is a small, uneventful moment to change your life. Whether it's meeting someone new, watching a movie, or coming across a book, it can make a world of difference. Most people would love to stretch the truth, and give you some big story about their life changing experience. But that's not what happens. The truth. The truth is something everyone needs to hear. Not want. Need. What truth is it that you need to hear? The truth you need to hear today, my friend, is that you can see the world differently, through discovering yourself.

              There was a Disney movie. It wasn't made too long ago. The Odd Life of Timothy Green. The young hero taught me something. Even though life can be cruel, and it can throw hard times in your face.   You never give up. You look to the bright side. Even though it may not seem like it's there, it is somewhere. Sometimes it's just hard to find.

               Knowing this truth, I chose to look for the good in everything. Especially people. The hardest part was looking where to start. So I started with stories. I believe that every character is relatable somehow. And the best story to find someone you can relate to, is Les Miserables. 

              Maybe others think you're a horrible human, when all you're trying to do is take care of your family, or you sell yourself just to get money for your child. Maybe people judge you because you're not what they consider beautiful, or rich. And maybe people don't believe in you just because you're younger.
                                                    Well so what?

             Sometimes you need to prove yourself. Bit by bit, you can prove that you're someone special. Through your gifts, people can see who you really are. Now you might think you don't have any talents. There's a high chance you do. So you can't sing, or dance, or paint. That doesn't mean you can't do anything. Maybe you can understand people, create something new, or write the next best seller. One talent I absolutely know that you have, is that you can teach.

            Everybody can teach everybody something. That's what we're all good at. The question is, what are you teaching?
