You Are Special

Don't ever forget that you are unique

Be your best self

and not an imitation of someone else.

Find your strengths

and use them in a positive way.

Don't listen to those

who ridicule the choices you make.

Travel the road that you have chosen

and don't look back with regret.

You have to take chances

to make your dreams happen.

Remember that there is plenty of time

to travel another road ~ and still another ~

in your journey through life.

Take the time to find the route

that is right for you.

You will learn something valuable

from every trip you take,

so don't be afaid to make mistakes.

Tell yourself that you're okay

just the way you are.

Make friends who respect your true self.

Take the time to be alone, too,

so you can know  how terrific

your own company can be.

Remember that being lonely;

it can be a beautiful experience

of finding your creativity,

your heartfelt feelings,

and the calm and quiet peace deep inside you.

Don't ever forget that you are special

and so are your dreams.
