    This is beautifully written and uplifting. It's so inspiring - not only is the message great, but your writing is incredibly easy to follow and clear. :)

    There are so many people who feel like they aren't special. And the fact that most stories portray their characters as hopeless gives this a nice twist. It's good to see that someone out there still has faith in people. Great job.

    Your existence serves a purpose. Nobody knows what that purpose is, what the reasons that fuel you on are. But you sparkle, you shine, for a reason.

    I can't even begin to describe why this means so much to me, but it does. This drabble is fantastic; brilliant; beautiful; inspiring.

    It's so enlightening. I can literally feel my self esteem rising from its all time low. I think I read this at exactly the right moment.

    You're extremely talented. <3

    that nobody had thought
    that nobody has might flow a little better.<3

    capture the feelings of a thousand hearts with one stroke of your pen
    I really, really liked this line.<3
    (:

    But you sparkle, you shine, for a reason.
    I feel this part got a teensy bit repetitive.
    Perhaps, not use both words again? Maybe one, but two was noticably repetitve.
    Then again that's prolly just me being weird so no worries. :)

    away from those who fear what they cannot understand.
    Lovley, lovely.<3

    And that's something that nobody deserves to have taken from them.
    Amazing.<3

    Really and truly, this is one of the most inspiring and promising things I've read in a while.
    If anyone else would've tried to pull this story off, they may have come off conceited, but you did this wonderfully, and it all sounds so innocent and strong and brave and bold. Just fabulous.<3

    Like I said, amazing things come in all sizes. :D <3

    I liked the layout in fact; it wasn't distracting to me at all.

    I loved reading through this it made me feel understood; it all made sense to me and strengthened me mentally. Your words are - again - inspiring/motivating.

    Amazing work, well done! :')

    Like a lot of people are saying, the layout was really distracting. I couldn't really focus on the words well.

    I love this! The few stories of yours I have read all have meaning, besides the silly fantasies and made up worlds most teen authors are writing about now. (: I really love your writing, so sorry if I annoy you with the multiple comments on your stories.

    Sorry this took so long!

    This is so inspirational! I loved reading this. It reminds me of one of those commercials on the TV for standing up for yourself. I feel like a lot of people should read this, because it would make them feel better about themselves.

    The only thing I didn't like was the layout. It seemed to bright for me and the background was weird. But it's okay. :)

    I felt like this was so inspirational! I wanted to know my answers to your questions. It made me want to go out and ask people this.

    I didn't like the layout; something more light and airy would have went well with this. (:

    Great message- I thought it was crystal-clear, and the writing was both clean and precise. Well done.

    I didn't really dig the layout, you might want to change it up.

    I really liked the message. You did a great job of getting your message across, and it just made me feel good while i read it. Excellent job!

    Hmmm, this was pretty interesting. I liked the concept & how it said that being different is a good thing (& it is)...so all in all it was pretty good.

    I think everyone said this already, but the layout was kinda distracting. However, I really enjoyed this. It's amazingly written, for a drabble. I loved the way you wrote it; it's perfect and sort of reminded me of Katy Perry's song Firework. At least, the layout reminded me of it, haha!
    Lovely job! <3

    Everyone has said it; the layout...yeah.

    However, the concept to this was quite interesting. I literally answered every question in my mind. The way you wrote this, it made me read fast because the tone of it seemed to be going for hyping someone up about how important they are for being different. I liked this. You have a unique writing style.

    I wasn't expecting this what-so-ever.

    I loved it, especially how it was mentioning God (in my mind) in a not-so-out-right way.

    It is very true how we are all equal and special individuals and it depresses me how some don't see that.

    You are a true questioner with this story and you captured my heart with all these questions that made me think of so many others and myself.

    Great job!! <3

    Like all of the others said above me, I didn't like the layout. It wasn't very attractive, and I didn't like the background you used cause I thought it was 'messy'. The colours don't match, and I found it a bit distracting too. Maybe you could change it and make it look better. :3
    This was great. The questions you used could really make people think about themselves, and this short drabble could make people believe more in themselves too. This could make others accept who they are, and think about the things that make them them. This is very moving, and could influence other people to write things like this. You also used great repetition, which is always good and effective. This could boost people's self-acceptance, self-confidence, and self-esteem up. Great job. :3

    I didn't really like the layout. It just wasn't very attractive to me. :/

    --

    I adore the purpose of this story. I love how the first few paragraphs are all questions and the repetition of "you sparkle and you shine". That's was adorable. I think you have this very influential way of writing. Every piece I've read of yours has been so...just helpful. You know? It's very endearing and I adore it.

    There were a few spelling errors but nothing that a proofread can't fix. :)

    Really good. The layout was a bit different than what I'm used to seeing.
    But it was a really good piece of writing.

    The layout for this was very distracting and made it hard for me to read.

    Other than that, this is very inspirational. I enjoyed it. I only noticed one awkward phrase, but it can be fixed with some re-wording.

    Good job.
