Step Back

Sometimes
life seems a little like
having some wine,
putting on a straightjacket,
and a blind fold, and then
trying to spar with Conor McGregor.
It's a little messy.

But,
we've got to learn to step back . . .
to see a broader view
instead of the tiny hole
that we've seemed to stick ourselves in.
We have to realize our value.
We have to understand
how very important we each are.
We have to comprehend
just how many lives we've touched
and that every single one of those lives
is better for you having touched them.

Step Back.
See how special you are.
See how integral you are.
See how loved you are.
