I went to sleep last night feeling wonderful. Not a wonderful like "I just did something totally marvelous that no one on Earth could surpass it in excellence if they tried to do it with the most powerful political, cultural, and spiritual figures on their side," but wonderful because I just discovered that I am not special and no one is. This information might come across as pessimistic and contrary to what we've been taught by public television and child psychologists, but there is no doubt in my mind that it's the truth. "Special" is a term that never agreed with me since before I knew the real meaning as defined by Marianne Williamson- "different". I once thought of myself as someone special because I let other people inadvertently convince me of this. But now I realize that I am not better or worse than anyone else- we are all equal with equal worth and equal potential.
