I'd like to actually say a big thank you to the person who inspired this. I'd not be the person I am now if they hadn't come into my life. They know who they are.

---

I am the girl that remembers birthdays, but forgets to eat.

I am the woman holding on to the last bit of sanity, just for the last cuddle.

I am the mother that wishes for the words “I love you” from their child.

I am the girlfriend that doesn't want Iris', jewellery or chocolates, just love.

I am the daughter doing everything in her power to keep her parents happy.

I am the boy that everyone pokes.

I am the man trying to earn a living, to own a house.

I am the father doing everything he can, just to keep his mind

I am the boyfriend making mistakes, and forgiving yours.

I am the son that wishes he never pulled away.

I am the one that struggles to do simple tasks.

I am the one who ignores the call for help.

I am the one everyone comes to for advice.

I am the one that everyone ignores.

We are the ones that can make a difference.

We are the ones who will be listened to.

We are the teachers, the mothers, fathers, grandparents.

We are the ones that they turn to.

Life is about making mistakes, and learning from them. Next time you see the lonely person in the background, talk to them. Look for the struggling mother, the disastrous father trying to do his best. Make a person smile today, even if it's for a fleeting second. We can make a change, and it takes just the one person to start it.
