Just be.

You are magic. You are a wizard. There’s something in you that isn’t in anyone. Something special that makes you unique, that makes you stand out in the crowd. It isn’t necessary that your ‘special something’ has to be a physical attribute.

Yes, physical attributes seem more attractive and noticeable to someone who doesn’t know you. But the emotional attributes are the ones that make us human, that make us compassionate. Your sense of understanding, your maturity, and your way of handling things is something of your own. You might say you’re not as pretty as the girl across the table, or as handsome as the boy with the perfect shoulders, but darling, you are you. And, no one can beat that.

The way you laugh makes someone’s world a brighter place. The way you support your friend without saying anything is an important trait that very few have mastered. You doing small things for them, packing their lunch, filling their bottle with water, buying them chocolate when they’re sad, driving them around because you WANT to (not because they cannot), or simply being their trash can when they’ve had a bad day, makes you a wonderful person. It makes you someone’s special person, favourite person.

Not many people have such special some ones. If you have one, keep them safe. Don’t let them go. Identify your backstage shadow. Adore them. Cherish them. Protect them. Try being their ‘person’.

If you are somebody’s person, and you know it, don’t feel bad when your actions aren’t appreciated. Relax. It’s your job to help the person you adore. There’s a reason you adore them, and trust me, it’s not out of the benefits you get out of the relation. It’s because you like their being. You like it when you are the reason for their smile. Remember that and do all the things you already are doing for your own self, for the happiness you get when you make your ‘favourite person’ happy. Be there for them. Be their home. Be their happy place. Just be.
