Enjoy the little things because one day you might look back and realise they were big things. Sometimes you don't need to talk. Sometimes you need to listen. Other times your story needs to be told. Your experience is yours alone and it is wonderfully unique. Many though have taken a different road to arrive at the same point. The reward is to utilise your lessons and continue the journey. Living without fingerprints is dedicated for those that think they don't leave a personal symbol but always leave an indelible impression. Everyone makes an impact. We are all entries in the lexicon of life. Never underestimate your worth.Trauma can alter your values, your appearance, your trust or your direction. It doesn't delete your signature.
