That Special Person.

Looking back, you realize that a very special person
passed briefly through your life, and that person was you.
It is not too late to become that person again.

I grew up physically, emotionally, psychological beaten up.
I was lied to, and brainwashed into believing
that I was ugly and talentless.

And then one person believed I could do anything
and that I was the most beautiful person in the world.
It took years for me to believe that myself.

Maybe, we only need two things to make us realize how truly special we are --

one, our willingness to heal and forgive;
and two, someone who will believe in us.
