Thanks

30 Days of Writing Challenge: Day 27 “Someone Who Inspires Me”

It’s hard for me to find other words to say to the people who inspired me other than thanks. So, today you’ll be seeing me thanking anonymous people for everything they did that inspired me.

Thanks for helping me gather the words to describe how I was feeling. It made me feel like I wasn’t alone and I still had a chance to redeem myself even after all the mess I’d created. It’s nice to know that somebody still believed in me.

Thanks for coming and helping out, even though it seemed silly and trivial. Even if it’s not for me, those actions helped me see something else. Like, I wasn’t caught in dreams and fantasy, I was just reaching for something I couldn’t see before.

Thanks for saying the things you said. You may not have the slightest clue on how it affected me, but I really needed it. And I’m grateful for that.

Thanks for reminding me that I already have enough in my hands to make the first step. Also for the slight push for me when I got scared. Or the reached out hand for whenever I needed some guidance.

Thanks for sharing all those stories. I shed tears, I laughed, I smiled, I got excited, I got aware, I got alerted, and I was relieved. They saved me from getting numb.

Thanks for noticing the things that are going on.

Thanks for the things that happened yesterday, today, and what could happen tomorrow.

Thanks for existing.

Thanks for everything.

Thanks, very much.
