What we leave behind

People talk a lot about legacies and what they mean to them. No matter what I do in life, whether it be my marriage, crafting in the shop, or how I treat my family and friends, I want to leave a positive impact. I don't think it is necessary for everyone to change the world in some massive, showy way. The kindness, or lack thereof, that you exhibit in your daily life, the simple act of how you treat people, the sacrifice of being there for someone even when you aren't having an easy time yourself...these things are every bit as important as fighting a war or making a piece of great art. It is far easier to leave a negative impact than a positive one, and we should all be mindful of the things we do to, and for, those around us.
