"Sometimes I'm like, "why am I still here?" but then I realise that I'm often the only person who's around to take bad-to-eat stuff out of my dog's mouth, and I think there's this Western idea of "if you're not CEO you're nothing special," but my dog is still alive because of me, and I'm still alive because of other people, so maybe I'm just here to pet cats and wear sweaters and help people take the class out of their mouth. Yknow? Maybe I won't be CEO, but maybe I'll be able to help somebody afford their trip home, and I think that's pretty ok, yknow?"

Saving lives feels less of an amazing thing than it is (I saved two last week alone and I still feel about as proud as if I do making a cup of tea for a guest :P) but it's good to remember that there are people still around to do their thing, animals still wagging their butts today, because of YOU.
