I had one of those days yesterday. One of those days where the sadness of the world seems to be weighing down on me. I expect you have them too.
On these days I wish I could turn off my beautiful gift for empathy. Sometimes I don’t want to feel everything so deeply. Sometimes I don’t want to hold the pain of others within me. Sometimes my own pain is more than enough.
There are so many terrible things I want to change but I know I can not for I can not single-handedly save the world.
I have to be happy with my contribution, authentically given.
And most days I am. But on the heavy days, the days that weigh on me, it just isn’t enough.

The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
