What makes you special.

In your quest to find your place in this world, to find what makes you unique, and who you are, be careful not to fall into the trap of thinking that any one thing makes you special. You are not a one-dimensional fictional character. The myriad things that make you and everyone else unique cannot be reduced to simple tropes. You have a depth that cannot be defined so succinctly. Every aspect of your personality, your thoughts, your upbringing, your skills and talents, all these things stacked together paint the picture of the person that is you.

Say you have a trait that only 10% of people have. That makes you pretty rare, right? Sure, but it gets better. Say you have ANOTHER trait that only 10% of people have, now you’re down to 1%. Only 1% of people are like you in those ways. But this thinking can be applied to every other feature, every other quality, quirk, flaw, EVERYTHING about you.

You are not one in a million. You are not one in a trillion. You are one out of an infinite number of possible humans. The only person who has ever existed and will ever exist who is exactly like you is you. That is what makes you special.
