You Are Special

You are the Evening Star glowing in the night sky; no one can replace the radiance within you. People tell you that you are not cool, smart, talkative, real.....making you to feel like a douche bag, being punched right in your heart. Believe me, I've been where you were; hurt, frustrated, and craving the gates of the afterlife. I looked like a person from a rehab. I also felt like a tourist in a place I was born. As seasons passed, I realized that it was I, with the key to joy. "Rivers don't ask for permission to replenish themselves; the Sun doesn't ask for permission to shine; an eagle doesn't ask for permission to soar into the sky...." are words from a Zen book, that woke up my inner fire. I started to dream positive things about me once more, and starting each day with a smile; this also changed the way people looked at me. You are the Evening Star glowing in the night sky; life being the sky. Never forget that!
