You're Special, Always.

I just finished reading 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘬𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘞𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 by Stephen Chbosky, and a particular line remained with me:

"𝘐 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘺. 𝘐 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘰."

How often do we forget that about ourselves?

How many times have you compared yourself to someone else and felt like you weren’t enough? How many times have you downplayed your efforts, brushed aside your accomplishments, or convinced yourself that you were just "ordinary"?

I know I have.

But today, I want to remind you, you are special. Yes, you.

Not because of achievements, awards, or how many people like you. Not because of how you compare to anyone else. You are special simply because you exist. Because no one else has your mind, your heart, your experiences, or the way you see the world.

So, take a moment and think about it: what makes you, you? Maybe it's the way you help your friends. Maybe it's your creativity, your kindness, your resilience, or the way you find beauty in small things.

You don’t have to be the loudest, the most successful, or the most noticed to be special. You just have to be you.

And if you ever forget that, come back to this message. Because I’ll remind you, every time: You are special, Always.
