Impact

As humans, I think we take relationships for granted, sometimes. We just totally are unaware of how much impact we can have on the people we are close to. We can even have an impact on those we aren't close to, even on those whom we only know through words. We just can be so in the dark when it comes to how impactful we are.

Hello there, I am the Earthian.

The impacts we have on people has a lot to do with how much we have in common with people. If we are rooting for something that is socially very relevant, our impact factor just soars up and beyond our own imagination. And that is pretty obvious, you do something that resonates with the majority, you're bound to have an impact. But what happens when you are not with the majority? What happens when you have different things to say? What happens when you are on the opposite end of what the society likes? What if you have things to say that aren't politically right, but are nevertheless right in the broader sense? What if you weren't scared to express whatever you wanted to express through whatever media you choose to use? Do you still have an impact? 

And the answer is, nope. At least not as much. Unless you're some kind of a villain who roots for everything that's bad, in which case you probably shouldn't be surprised at the impact you bring in. But back to the original topic; when you have things to say that aren't what the general public believe in, when you are different just the way you are, chances are, you will be ignored by the vast majority. People idolize the fact that the world isn't perfect and say that there are rules that need to just be broken if you ever want to achieve something great. And this kind of gives them leverage and justifies their stand on worldly views. But when you are someone who just believes that the heart always knows what is right, who just knows that the world being imperfect is not a statement to capitalize on and take advantage of, when you are someone who wants to make things right by calling out the real flaws in the way we live, you will be ignored. Because that's just the easiest thing to do. 

But the good news is, it's okay to not have the impact. It's okay if you keep getting ignored. The only things that literally matter are your belief in yourself, your willingness to stand by your virtues no matter what, your honesty, modesty and integrity about who you are as a person and your acceptance of yourself. And while you might not matter to the majority, there will be a select few who will resonate with you and will stand by you. A select few that you have impacted. A select few that will be willing to walk the distance with you.

With love, peace.
