Rewriting the Stars

People may tell you that some things are too deep to change. Some things are set in stone. Written in the stars.

You can make a difference though. Making a difference doesn’t mean saving someone from a burning building or discovering the cure for cancer.

Making a difference is smiling at the new kid on the first day of school. Making a difference is giving a homeless person your lunch. Making a difference is taking home a stray dog you find lying hurt on the road. Give a compliment. Help someone carry their groceries.

I’ll never forget the day my friend used her ice cream money to buy a meal for a child on the street. When I was seven, it mattered a lot to me when my best friend stayed in at recess with me until I finished my math work.

You can make a difference by being you. If you want to eat blue food instead of regular food, do it! If you want to read Shakespeare instead of crime novels, do it! If you want to watch the Harry Potter movies (again) instead of Avengers, do it!

You run your own life and choose your own path.

Anything can be rewritten. Even the stars.
