I Feeeeel Good

I have just discovered the most incredible feeling in the world. My dear sister Maddy, responding to my IM about me running into a wall this morning [another time, folks] informed me that she not only reads my updates [YES! A READER!] but that they have also affected her in a positive way. She says that they made her realize that we really are growing up, even if it's a bit too quickly, and that they made her rethink life, friends, etc. [please forgive me if i paraphrased very badly, Mads...].

I felt more honored than I have ever felt in my entire life. My simple words, my words, made her think about the important things in her life. I had touched someone. I made a difference in her life--I've never felt so blissful, so inspired.

If you really think about it, I guess we affect people more often than we realize. Who knows how many other people have read this? Did I touch them, too? Maybe! The thought makes me grin incessantly.

I, Artemis Morgan, touched a life. I changed a life. I've helped people before, even saved a life, but never truly thought about how I could change one.

I have changed a life. I have made a difference. I, Arty, am a good person.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it. :D
