I need you to know you are valued

don't let anyone say otherwise

I need you to know you are valued

forget all the people that question the harmless choices that make you happy

forget anyone who does not accept you as you are

and love you wholeheartedly until you grow into your best self

forget anyone that projects their insecurities and limitations onto you

we are endless potential

what others call normal

will never apply to everyone

try new things

until you find the things that bring you to life

other people tell us what to do

what to think

what to belief

how to express ourselves

they try to tell us what is important

and none of them ever try to know you

now I can't really know everyone

but I can feel what connects us

humanity is a collective

we are all the same

merely separated by distance and time

everything that makes us hate each other

is a trick

a tool

that the powerful need to keep us in line

so they can stay powerful

but we should lift each other up

and that starts with being grateful

that we are all here together
