      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life happens fast
It hits hard, crushes us
So sometimes
you&#39;ve gotta take a step back</p>

<p>This memo
That message
Those bills
Do they need to be dealt with now?
Or will they still be there?</p>

<p>It doesn&#39;t feel like it
The constant pressure yells
“DO IT NOW!”
“THIS IS IMPORTANT!”</p>

<p>But you know what?</p>

<p>You are important
So if you need a break
Take one
Because all of that life</p>

<p>It can wait</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can live your whole life
without making it
into a single history book
And that&#39;s okay

You don&#39;t have to be famous
You don&#39;t need the world to love you
You make a difference
Simply by being</p>

<p>You are not a cog in a machine
You are not a worker in a hive
You are not replaceable or interchangeable
You are you</p>

<p>That&#39;s all you need to be
You are special just by existing
Live your life like you are
And always, always</p>

<p>Take care of yourself</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a time
when friends for whom you cared
drifted away, making you think
“I am forgettable”

There was a time
when you had a purpose
and then someone else took over, and you thought
“I am replaceable”</p>

<p>There was a time
when these thoughts were all you had
echoing, over and over, until you thought
“I should be alone”</p>

<p>I hope now is the time
you see how unique you are
how special you are
and think something else</p>

<p>That you are not forgettable
You are not replaceable
You are not alone
You are special</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Friend,</p>

<p>I know tonight
you can’t keep it together
I can hear you
reciting reasons to carry on

Your pain
is all you feel right now
The dreams you have
all look shattered to you</p>

<p>Choices you made
are choking you
and you don’t want
to bother those that love you</p>

<p>So you suffer
with a smile on your face
so no one will know
and no one will ask</p>

<p>I wish I could
make it all better
But all I have
are my words</p>

<p>So here they are</p>

<p>I love you
I would miss you
And I truly believe
with all of my heart</p>

<p>That you are beautiful
So please stay</p>

<p>Sincerely,
Everyone who loves you</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life didn’t go as planned
Though you thought it all in hand
Even though your plans fell through
There’s nothing wrong with you

It’s not because of the way you look
Nor because of the abuse you took
You might have a different point of view
But there’s nothing wrong with you</p>

<p>It’s not because your voice is strange
You certainly don’t need to change
Everything is my favorite part about you
So you know there’s nothing wrong with you</p>

<p>No matter how much life knocks you down
Get back up and keep reaching for that crown
It’s up to you to see your journey through
Because there’s nothing wrong with you</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you’re yourself, that’s the best
You don’t have to be like the rest
To yourself, be true
And be you, be you

Being different is fine
So do it all the time
It shouldn’t make you blue
Just be you, be you</p>

<p>Sometimes others don’t understand
This wasn’t what they had planned
But they can’t decide for you
So be you, be you</p>

<p>Who you are is your choice
Speak with your own voice
You’re important too
So be you, be you</p>

<p>Don’t be afraid
To lead your own parade
Make it how ever you want to
So long as it’s you, it’s you</p>

<p>Everyone has their own part to play
Everyone has something important to say
Don’t forget that you do too
And always be you, be you</p>
