Amidst a mysterious and perplexing world,

Where comprehension is elusive,

On a cosmic scale where our individual journeys begin and end in solitude,

Each of us develops our own distinct personality as we navigate life's ups and downs,

through love and hate,

joy and sorrow,

tranquility and anarchy,

sorrow and anguish.

In the midst of all the mayhem,

we tend to lose sight of our true selves,

our place in the world,

and the gifts we bring to the cosmos.

Growing up,

I learned the importance of connecting with myself, my unique skillset,

and my place in the world.

Yet, as I progress through life,

I come to believe that every single person is essential to creating a whole world,

That every single person has a purpose,

and that every single person has a place in this vast universe.
