Special?

[Jojee]

You can believe you're special all you want, but chances are that you probably aren't. Though you may be a good friend for someone or something and you might think that entitles you to "special" status, chances are that if you were never born, the grand scheme of things would remain more or less the same. There are a lot of good friends out there, so how can you be special? I have good friends, you probably do too, and that guy over there probably has some as well. How can something so common be special and rare? There is a very (relatively) small number of people in the world who really are special. They're special because they can really make a difference in the way the world works. The rest of us aren't special, we're just told that we are so we don't break down.

It's way past your bedtime! Go to sleep!

Everyone has good friends, but not everyone has me as a good friend. And those who do should feel lucky, because even though who knows what would have happened if I never existed, I do exist and since I do, I affect their lives. I may not be able to make a difference right now in the world, in the grand scheme of things, but I can sure as hell make a difference to those around me and close to me. ^_~

Am I special? I'm special to the people who matter to me, which is more important than being special in the grand scheme of things.

I think that's the specialest thing you ever said And to you, I say:

You all sound like chapters from a self-help booklet!
