I hope whoever read this(yes, I mean you) goes away feeling a little bit lighter, a little more full, even if it’s just for today, or even just an hour. You matter. You mean something to so many people and don’t ever forget that.
It’s important to remember that who you are is unique. That means that sometimes people don’t get parts of you and they try to make you feel bad about those fragments of your soul, but that’s on them. Every inch of you you should cherish deeply.
We are unique. Being different is literally something everyone does all the time! So you go out there, -be it with a roar or quiet confidence- and you show the world You.
You don’t need to change the world or prove anything to anyone. You. Are. Always. Enough.
You do you. I know it’s easier said than done, and it’s scary, and nerve-wracking, and anxiety-central, but it’s worth it. YOU are worth it.
You don’t need to ‘do something great’ to matter. Everyone is unique. Your skills and your perspective give angles no one also can see. The small things matter just as much as the big ones. Things like driving instructors. Without them, who could drive? Things like helping someone with homework. Because of you they get it now, can enjoy that class to the fullest. It doesn’t even need to be that big. By living, you influence so many people. The most important one is yourself.
It’s awe-inspiring when you think about it, really. We have the power to do anything.
You don’t have to be strong all the time.
You don’t have to be untouchable, or emotionless to be brave.
It’s okay to not feel okay.
Sometimes you need to scream and shout and cry and that is NOT a bad thing. Never feel guilty for feeling your emotions. Your thoughts are oh so valid, and someone else having it worse than you should never diminish them. You can be in a bad mood for no reason and that’s okay. No guilt. And you NEVER need to tell anyone why you’re not doing the best at the moment. Sometimes sharing helps. Sometimes it doesn’t. That’s up to you to decide.
You are loved. You are incredible. You change the world just by being you.
And that’s enough.
