You Can Be Special Too

You Can Be Special Too - 25 March 2025 05.47

You think you’re special. Because facing the ordinariness of life terrifies you.

The idea that your life might be just that, a life, feels unbearable.

You think you’re better. Smarter. More beautiful. More important. You would never say it out loud, but you believe it. That you are somehow above the person next to you. That your existence carries more weight.

But you’re not the first to feel this way. And you are not different. You are not the exception. The belief that you are is in truth the most predictable thought.

You are going to die. Just like the ones you ignore on a daily basis. Just like those you look down upon and who looks down onto you

And maybe that is your freedom.

Because being alive is never about being special. It is about being here. About making something good out of what you have. About living simply. About showing up with care. About doing what needs to be done without applause.

A good life is rare

And that is what makes it special

You are not special

But you are alive

And maybe that is enough
