You are special. Yes you. And you, and you. Every single one of you is special in your own way. I may not know you, I may not know what you are like, where your talents lie, how smart you are. But I know that you are special.
I have a poster on my wall, it is a motto from Mr. Rogers. It says, "You make each day special just by being you." I see that every time I walk into my room. It is a good reminder, especially when I am feeling particularly un-special.
I want to thank you, oh anonymous people, whoever you are. Some of you may know me, and some of you may have never met me. But you are dear to me. You give me the opportunity to share my thoughts, my goals and dreams with you. You let me broadcast my feelings, my experiences, and my day to day life. To you this may mean nothing. Maybe you read my posts, and maybe you don't. But to me, this feels like I have someone with me the whole way through.
Don't get me wrong- I have friends. Real live friends whom I see most of the time. But this is different.
I hope to make you proud of me. My journey is far from over. It may never be over. So thank you for sharing it with me and being a part of my life.
You are welcome. As a character from SNL would tell himself, often. "You're good enough, you're smart enough, and gosh darnit people like you." Thank you for all the inspiring moments you have filled my year with Altie. Shana Tova.
