Struck by lightning

Who are we?
Would we be the same if we walked on different roads,
if we had made different choices along the way?

What if I had told that person what was on my mind back then?
What if I hadn't let that one girl get to me, break me down?
What if he would've given us a chance?
What if I had chosen another major in college?
What if I was a better student?
Would things be different if I had been better at mathematics?
Could I be a better me?
Should I be?
Will I be rewarded when I work hard to bring about my dreams?
Does it even matter at all?
Do I matter?

We all think about it sometimes, don't we?

Now you ask me, where does this come from? Why go all 'dark side'?
I saw this movie called 'Struck by lightning'.
It's a Chris Colfer-movie and it's about this kid, Carson.
His mom ended up a mess, due to a marriage that went horribly wrong.
And he, he's just doing anything he can to make his dreams come true.
And at the end of the movie...
- sorry, spoilers here (but not really they show it to you at the beginning of the movie) -
... he gets struck by lightning.
(If you want to know what actually happens: watch the movie!)

So I guess the question isn't really 'Do I matter?' but 'Has me being me changed anything?'.
Say I'm gone tomorrow, will I have left my mark? Will I have made a difference?
Is there going to be one person, only one, whose life would be different if I hadn't been alive?




Whit that one to think about, I'm signing out.
