Please have a seat.

You are occupying a seat, I am occupying a seat and everyone around you is occupying one. And let me tell you one thing very honestly; no matter how beautiful, smart, funny, intellectual, creative or perfect you are, there is someone else waiting to occupy your seat. I know you've read quotes like 'you are unique and special', 'There's no one like you and that's your power' but ask yourself, so what? You can't hold on to your seat no matter how amazing or unique you are. You're a temporary traveller  and you're replaceable! Maybe not easily but the world won't stop working without you. But this doesn't mean you have to give up on the seat, not at all!
We're organisms, we are meant to die, I know. But let me warn you, you're occupying a precious seat. This seat is yours for the while you are here and if you can't make the most of it, what are you even doing? (Keep trying please?)
What do I mean by making the most of it? Well, if you can't smile at least thrice a day, you're doing life wrong. If you have people around you who dictate your actions, you're doing life wrong. If you can't trust yourself, you're doing life wrong. And there are so many things that'll remind you that you're doing it wrong, remember, you have this seat and the journey isn't a really long one, don't do it wrong.
Now the most honest part: You matter, you're matter. You are unique, you are you. You are phenomenal, you are amazing. But don't let these adjectives make you forget that you occupy a seat. Do make a difference.
Much power to you!
