Show of Hands

How many people notice your presence in their life?  The little things you do because you can and should, the things you do for others because they need them or like them.  How many people notice when you're sick or when you're sad?  How many offer to help when you need it?  How many would notice if you stopped answering their messages?  How many would miss you if you died today?

You can't answer any of those questions reliably.  But it's hard sometimes not to feel like the answer to most of those questions in my case is two or less... and the answer to the last one is none.

I know it's just my usually negativity and... other issues... talking, but damn.  It's hard not to believe those thoughts.
