A message for you

I don’t know who you are, but this is a message for you.

You are incredible. You are so goddamn magnificent it takes my breath away. The things you think about, the kindness you show to others. The way your soul shines through all you actions.

You have done more good for this world than you know. You have learned valuable things that you teach others every day. You don’t know you’re teaching but you do through your actions constantly.

There are things you’ve said that have touched people’s lives. They remember them vividly and it influences everything they do.

You are special, you are important. Even when you feel like shit. Even when you think no one cares. If you had never existed the world would be a darker place.

You are doing really well. Even if you haven’t reached your goals yet. Even if you feel stuck. The impact you have is enormous, you would be shocked if you could see it in entirety.

There are ripples from your actions that you can’t understand. There are cascading events that expand the lives of everyone around you and beyond. At the center of all that beautiful influence is you.

You are important, you are significant. Others could never be their best without you being exactly who you are in the exact place you are.

You don’t have to change a goddamn thing. You’re perfect. You are wonderful and irreplaceable exactly as you are.

You won’t be satisfied with that though, you’ll grow even better. Improving upon perfection.

Doing the impossible with casual elegance, and not even knowing it.

If this doesn’t sound like you, don’t worry, you’re notoriously hard on yourself. Just know that everyone else around you can see it. It’s just so obvious to them that they think you already know.

It’s a privilege to have you read my writing. I hope you take this seriously. You are a beautiful force in the world, if I have helped you realized it even a little my job is well done.

I don’t know who you are, but I hope to someday. It would be my honor.
