What Makes You Special?

"Though I don't feel special, I know that as long as I never give up, that makes me special." - Alejandra, *Mated to Four*

So heart wrenching, but so true. I can only say, though, that you don't have to feel special to know that you ARE special. Our flaws makes us who we are.

I am proud to be special. I know that what makes me special is my whole personality, my curiosity in nearly everything, the whole "reacting before I think" curse, the wise mind most of my family know that I have, the creative mind for my writing and drawing and singing, and my imagination.

Lastly, I know that I am special because of my beliefs. I believe that there is more beyond Earth; I believe in everyone around me, despite their flaws; I believe in humanity, because we can make a negative into a positive when we choose; I believe in every religion and spiritualism despite their flaws; I believe in the supernatural world; I believe in magic; I believe that soulmates are real; I believe in love.

I know I'm not perfect. I know I have depression, Mosaic Down Syndrome, and ADD. I know that there are antics that make me upset, cry, panic, and any other negative emotions we humans have. But that doesn't mean I have to devalue anything about myself to know that I am special.

So are you. Embrace who you are, flaws and all. I dare you to repost/share this; change the paragraphs to reveal exactly what makes you to show how special you truly are. You deserve every happiness and love - and it starts with you.
