You Mean Something To Someone

I recently read, "Be The Reason Someone Feels... supported, seen, valued, welcomed, heard and loved".  And this simply and subtly shook my world.  Knowing full well that I have the ability to care about someone so much that they feel seen and valued makes me feel so important to the people around me.  It makes me want to be a better version of myself because I live in a world where I can have a positive affect on other people.  And so can you because you mean something to someone.


I was at the supermarket the other day and I ran into an old friend.  He walked right up to me and said, "Hi! Oh my goodness I was thinking of you earlier today!  I feel like I haven't seen you in a while.  I am so glad I ran into you today and that you are okay."  I embraced him with a huge hug and told him I was so grateful that the world brought us together.  A simple "hello" meant so much to both of us.  Before we left and went our own ways, I said, "Thank you for thinking of me and caring about me".


It meant so much to me that I came to mind for a friend earlier in the day.  The simple fact that he thought of me means that he cares.  And since the world brought us together, he was able to have the opportunity to tell me how much he missed me.  He let me know that he cared enough about me that I was on his mind. And that I was a part of his world because friends leave impacts on the lives of one another.


That night, I was talking to my husband and shared with him who I saw at the grocery store.  And as I was telling the story, it sat heavily on my heart that in that moment, I meant something to someone.  And you mean something to someone, too.


There are people in your life that mean the world to you and you mean the world to them.  This person has a special impact upon your life.  Sometimes this is a best friend, a family member or someone you just met for the first time.  Maybe you talk to them all the time.  Other times, it is a person you see less frequently but they care about you more than you could ever imagine.


Today as you put your high heels on, I hope you will also snuggle a warm smile into your heart knowing that you matter.  You matter to someone who cares very deeply about your presence in this enormous world.  You, my friend, mean something to someone out there who loves you and cares about you very much.


LOVE PEOPLE LOUDLY.

Tell them often.
Cheer them on as they go after their goals.
Hug them (if they like hugs) every chance you get.
No one ever got to the end of their life and thought,
"I wish I'd left more people wondering about how much I cared."
