Witness

She's brilliant, lovely, creative, funny.

She loves to read, loves to sing. Loves to write and laugh.

But what if no one sees it?

What if there is no one, when she takes her last breath, who can say, "I witnessed her life. I saw her existence."

Not everyone will want to be famous or well known. But I believe everyone wants to leave a mark of sorts. Something that says, "Andrea (or whatever your name is) was here."

I think we all want someone to witness our lives, we want the universe to acknowledge that we lived.

The trick, is finding that person (or persons) to witness your existence. The person who will experience with you, the person who you will share moments with. And the person who you will tell your stories to.

And as a favorite song of mine says, "but these stories don't mean anything, if you've got no one, to tell them to."

If there is no witness to your life, what does your life mean?
