With all the negativity floating around right now, it's important that every single person knows just how important they are.
So, dear anyone who needs to know how important you are,
There are people that love you. There are people out there that care about you. There are people out there who would be impacted if you didn't come home tonight. You are wanted by somebody out there. Every single person on this planet has a purpose. It may not be obvious at first, but every single person has a purpose. No matter who you are, there are people out there who would be impacted if you did not exist.
YOU MATTER. We all matter. You never know who's day you might be brightening. That person you saw on the street that you smiled at? You may have just made their day. The person that you talk to at lunch every day about each others issues? You might be the only person that they feel comfortable speaking to.
You have no idea who's life you may be impacting, but what I can tell you is that you are impacting somebody's day.
Especially with all of the hate that's floating around these days, it's important that every single person knows that they are important and they are needed. There is no person on this earth who deserves to be here any less than another. It doesn't matter if you're white, black, or purple for god's sakes, you matter and you deserve to be here.
Think of all of the people that you walk past on a daily basis, the people in the background of your pictures, the people in your classes you don't talk to, the people you drive next to. All of those people impact your day in one way or another, and you impact their's just the same.
It's like they say: "One star in the sky leads sailors home. A butterfly can start a hurricane. A grain of sand starts a landslide. You are important, and the universe would be empty without you. Believe me." While I cannot find the source that this quote comes from, (I found it on Instagram) the quote is beyond true. The universe would be empty without every single person that exists on this planet. You could be the one person who starts a revolution, the one person who is able to push for change, the one person who could change the flow of society. The world isn't a collective group of people, it is individuals that join together, and without individuals like you, this world would be missing out.
You are needed. You are wanted. You do matter. You have a purpose. You are important. Always remember that.
