Fingerprints

Published September 28, 2008

OK, you've made it this far with life. And most still have so much more to look forward to. But don't forget your past, never. If you give up your past, you might as well have just given up who you are. The people you met, even in passing, and the places you saw are what made you who you are today. Even if you came from a small town in the middle of nowhere, or a huge metropolitan where you were just another face in the crowd. The place you called home, and all those people that lived there, touched your life. Touched it and left a mark, like a fingerprint. That person that walked past you on the sidewalk left a print, and then on the person they next met. And you left yours on them. But, now your mark has changed, and so has theirs. Every experience no matter how small, altered that fingerprint. That's why no two people are the same. They've all had their fingerprints altered.

AU: Yeah, I know. Weird. But that's what ended up on the paper when I just sat down to write. Like it or not, let me know. Thanks!
