Imagine that you are a pebble. There are plenty of them around. They all look the same at first. However, when examined, each one is unique. No two are completely the identical.

When a pebble is thrown into the water, it splashes a little and then ripples begin to make their way outward from the spot where the pebble became submerged. Those ripples are the people who love us.

There may only be a few, but they are affected drastically by our actions. And the pebble that started the reaction is affected just as much.

Those ripples could not be the same without the pebble that was tossed into the water. They are your ripples. Treat them with care, and they will never disappear, even as you sink. They will remain with you in the form of what they have taught you. Throughout your entire life you will make decisions that are influenced by the people around us.

Don't give up. The ripples would never deny you, judge you, betray you and most importantly, teach you.
