Do you ever get this feeling?
This feeling of utter disappointment?
You see all these people who are doing great things!
These people inspire you to be something more!
You want to be just like them!
Want to be able to change the world in some way!
To leave an imprint just to show that you existed!


But...


These people you look up to, they already have the spot you want so badly
They
left their imprint
They
have a meaning
They
have a purpose


You
Don’t


You want to go somewhere
You want to do something great
You want to be something great


But
you’re not


You look to your right
you see Albert Einstein developing the theory of relativity
you see Thomas Edison inventing the light bulb


You look to your left
you see Van Gogh painting the beautiful Starry Night
you see Bob Ross showing the joy of painting


You cross science off your list of things, those spots are taken
You cross art off your list, those spots are taken
You cross off writing
You cross of theater
You cross off sports
You cross off anything and everything that already has its spot taken


And what is left?


Me?
You?
The new kid at school without a desk?
The one who wants to join in and play games with the other kids, but there are already too many players?
The one who plays musical chairs, but always loses because there aren’t enough spots for her?


She just wants to find a place
She just wants to know where she fits
She just wants to find where she belongs
She just wants reassurance that she wasn’t put on this earth as mere mistake
She wants to be a part of something.


You look down upon yourself because you can’t find all the right pieces
You can’t find yourself
You can’t find your purpose or your reason


You feel that if you don’t make some kind of change, then what are you worth.


You need to remember...

The Earth is a box for the jigsaw puzzle of life.
You are a part of this 7 billion piece puzzle
You will always have a place.


You may still be struggling to find yourself,
and that’s okay.
But you will always have a place.
We will wait
When you are ready,
go on and join the puzzle

Because you have a place, just like me
You need to discover what parts of you make you... well... you
You need to figure out the detail of your piece and build off of others


Don’t you ever think that you don’t matter
Don’t you ever believe that you have no purpose
Without you
The jigsaw puzzle
will never be
