You Matter

Shanti Beautiful One,

Welcome.

I'm so happy you're here today,

Because today I'd like to talk about a subject that I'm passionate about,

And that is just how amazing we all are.

If you really just stop and think about it,

We are all here for a reason.

If no one's told you this today,

Or if you just need a friendly reminder,

You matter.

Your heart matters.

Whatever you are passionate about,

Regardless of how your family and friends feel,

The things that make your heart happy matter.

Your feelings matter.

They are not too much.

They are not unrealistic.

They are your feelings and emotions,

And they matter.

Your problems matter.

The struggles you face in life are building your strength.

You continue to learn and grow.

And the tears you cry matter.

Even your darkness matters.

Your happiness matters.

All the things that bring you joy matter.

Simple things that make you smile matter.

The moments that take your breath away matter.

Seek them,

Find them,

And do more of what makes you happy.

Your existence matters.

You are here for a reason.

You are important,

And as long as you know that,

Nothing else matters.

Thank you for choosing you.

Wishing you a beautiful day,

Friends.

Go out and shine bright.
