I am waiting on some videos to get done uploading. I figured now is a good a time as any to make a blog post. My house is quiet, all my work is done for the day. I am settling down listening to some music and thinking about what it is I need to get done for tomorrow.
I received a message tonight from a follower thanking me for getting them through the death of their father. That has resonated with me all night. I was eating dinner and editing thinking about how a 60 second video I post has helped someone through one of the hardest things someone will ever have to go through. Its humbling to say the very least. I get many messages along those same lines, almost hourly. The comments on my "When tomorrow starts without me." edit, I have cried with just about all of the people that have commented on that video. When that video started going viral and really started gaining traction, it was getting like 3 comments a minute each one more heartbreaking than the next. I actually stepped away from posting because every time I would check the comments I was so terribly heartbroken for each one.
I obviously did come back after some time but that was hard, it is when I realized that the things I post matter, that people really do pay attention and it resonates with them. So I decided right then and there that I want my teeny tiny corner of the internet to be positive and to help others.
I know this post sounds like I am boasting like "Oh look at me I am so helpful" I truly hope it is not coming out like that as it is not my intention.
I just want to be someone that can be strong for others when they need it. I didn't really have a lot of strong people that I could turn to in certain situations and I know how lonely that can be. So I want my community to know that I am here, no matter what.
Namaste'
