I always feel that if I could make a strong impact on someone's life, then I would have achieved something. I also believe that there are certain people that have made impacts on me and as much as i'm not always ready for them, they make me realise certain things and open my eyes.
To understand someone you are meant to walk a mile in anothers shoes, see it from their own perspective and realise something. I'm not sure if I am about to do that, or if I want to make my own footprints... I think no matter what you do, you always follow someone whether or not you mean too.
This is about a breath of fresh air and a chance to gain perspective, relax, reflect and reboot. Maybe walking in many peoples shoes and hopefully making my own waves, with my own footprints.
We have many influences in life and these have and continue to contribuate to the person we are. Life is all about expeirences, enjoying yourself and finding yourself.
I love it when someone makes an impact on me and I love it when I impact on someone.
We make our own footprints. We have to find our footprints.

Baggage
I look around as I wait patiently for the tube to start moving again. Being as its both rush hour and it's the season where layers are required, the hot and stuffy atmosphere is beginning to feel a little un-comfortable. I start to quickly realise where claustrophobia comes from and try and think of wide open spaces to allow me to breath.
Whilst imagining running through an empty field, my vision is filled with sweaty bodies once again and I start to look around. It’s the end of a long day and judging by the faces around me everyone is feeling it. There is not a person in my sight who doesn’t own a complete set of luggage that is swelling underneath their eyes, everybody has bags.
As I continue to stare in amazement at the tired eyes that dart around the crowded compartment, I realise that even the most perfect ladies have them. Even the lady that now has hidden behind what I can only assume to be her husband because of my staring; her tired expression fills her face that’s now buried beneath the comfort of her loved one. It seems that everyone without exception shares the need for a break, whatever that may be.
Throughout life there are certain feelings that although might get repressed by other things like dramas, relationships and jobs, remain there inside of us. The feelings of slightly itchy feet, twinges and gut instincts. That feeling that you haven’t completed some of the goals you wanted too and a feeling of a new direction being needed. A new plan.
These feelings become bugs. They might only come once a year like the Daddy Long legs, but like those bugs they can plague our minds and never feel like they will go away. They might become dormant through a love, a distraction or a challenge, but as quickly as it dives down, it can re-surface just as fast. Sometimes these nagging feelings will take over and make you face choices. Choices that could put on hold love, careers and sometimes family.
Every journey is said to have a destination, but shouldn’t life be more about embarking on several? Christopher Columbus set out to explore the world and discover new things, so what is stopping us?
As I look around this non-moving tube I realise, sometimes we run for a reason to escape and sometimes we are just tired and want to re-awaken the void. Sometimes we have had enough of being trodden down and need strength to stand again. Sometimes we need to fill the space that is created by wanting something or getting knocked back.
Sometimes we want to discover the world. Sometimes we want to realise our dreams and sometimes we just need fresh air and a new back garden.
The train is moving now, everyone looks relieved as they all want to get to their destinations. Everyone has baggage, everyone goes through change and we all grow, learn and discover. Don’t worry a ticket can be a return fair. Sometimes we just need to wake up.
