The Souffle is the Recipe

"Oi! Yes, you! No, no, no, don’t- don’t turn around- this is important! 

I need your help.

Yes, your help. Oh, don’t give me that look, you’re the only person in the whole of time and space I can ask to carry out this very very important and official mission, and missions are cool. I know it sounds all very posh and sophisticated, but it’s definitely something I’m sure you can handle. Now, here’s the plan.

I need you, and you specifically, to tell someone you know- it could be anyone really- tell them… that they’re beautiful. Tell them that they’re important, tell them that the world, hell, the universe and all of creation relies on the existence of all their atoms to be acting in the precise way they are, and that nothing, nothing, should ever make them feel otherwise. It’s your mission to convince them of just that. You can pick one person, you can pick a group of people, you could even pick every single person, animal, plant, creature, or species you ever meet, and make showing them just how profoundly special and wonderful they are your goal. If you see someone feeling low, or someone getting bullied or teased, take a stand. This is your shining moment! Today, everything changes! You can make a change! 

I know, I know, you here this kind of garb every day, but this mission, issued by me, UNIT, and Torchwood of this universe and every universe, is now in effect. This is official stuff, guys, and way more important than any alien junk they’re trying to sort out. This is about every single living being in the entire galaxy. I’ll give you the first step if you’re feeling a bit lost or daunted by this whole thing.

The first, and most important step… is you. You need t’know that you are a beautiful, kind, brilliant, important, magnificent person. Everything you do is so so special and meaningful to everyone around you. Please do me one favor while your undertaking this job. Love yourself. Love yourself for everything you are now, everything you were, and everything you will be. Never ever regret something you’ve done. We all make mistakes, we’re not perfect. That’s what makes everyone unique. You are the only one like you. Pretty crazy when you think about it. Out of an infinite amount of people and species, you are the only you. Look around- the whole universe has never seen anyone like you. Don’t waste this. Don’t waste this moment, don’t waste your life, don’t ever for even one second, think you’re not good enough. And good enough for what? Everyone’s different, everyone’s unique. You’re already the best you can possibly be just by being yourself.

Never be ashamed of being yourself, because you are unique and magnificent, and you are brave and strong just through living every day with people telling you you’re not.

That’s why this mission is so important- so people stop telling each other those very not nice things, and so you stop telling yourself those very not nice things. Not nice this most certainly aren’t cool.

Now, step one being said, here’s your step two if you’re still not quite sure how t’go on from here. Pass this on. Help your friends, strangers, family, everyone- to understand just how amazing they are. Sometimes it’s hard when you’re on your own and you have t’realize for yourself. Everyone needs a little help. Be that help. 

Only once you love yourself and everyone around you love themselves and you and everyone know how incredibly and indescribably brilliant they are, only then is the mission complete.

I love you, and I think you’re the most gorgeous and courageous person I’ve ever met in my whole life.

Good luck.
