“Just look at us, all of us, quietly doing our thing and trying to matter. The earnestness is inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time.”
—Amy Krouse Rosenthal, Textbook Amy Krouse Rosenthal

It can be really hard, trying to matter. What is the point of it all? Life is so needlessly hard, sometimes. We work ourselves up, trying to make it all work in this sad world. Why do we do it to ourselves? We were born to be free, wild, and happy. But so often in life we become the opposite. Having a faith, a reason for it all, makes it a bit better. But even with a faith, we turn away from our real, beautiful selves, and fall into the depression, the pity, the darkness of it all. Just look at us, all of us, quietly doing our thing and trying to matter. The earnestness is inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time.
