You should probably read this

Dear Fur Friend:
Obviously, if you are reading this, you are more than likely my friend. The things that brought us together, our history... you know it as well as I. However, what you may not know (or stop to think about, at least) is that you are pretty damn special. I mean it. Whether it's the way you smile, or the way you view things, or some quirky mannerism... there is something about you that marks you different from the rest. Something utterly and uniquely yours. Something beautiful.
It probably sounds cheesy and overdone by now, but it's true. I pay attention those around me. I find beauty in every single person. We all get so caught up in our own lives that we often overlook the beauty around us. We take it for granted. And society pressures us to shed those things that make us different. They urge us to become the same, to reject our differences and see them as imperfections, when we should be embracing them.
So here I am, writing an open letter at 5AM to tell you this: You are beautiful for the things that make you different. You are beautiful for the things that make you the same. You are beautiful because statistically, your existence is a mathematical miracle. Because you have survived life's cruelties to this point, and you are still standing.
I know we may not talk or see each other as often as I'd like. I know life doesn't always work the way we want it to. But you are special to me. Even if you are just a Watcher who has never spoken to me... even if I don't know you at all. You are special in some way. Even if I haven't gotten the chance to find that spark, that beautiful thing about you, there is someone in your life who has seen it, and who loves you for it.
It's so easy to tear ourselves down when we should be building ourselves -and each other- up. It's so easy to forget to stop and look around and say, "Hey. This world is pretty freaking beautiful, and so are the people who share it with me." This world is beautiful. You are beautiful. And though I may not know you, I love you.
