Thank you for being you

Thank you for being you.

It’s a statement I declare every now and then and yet every time it feels kind of clunky. Too light when it actually is always heartfelt. Too easy to dismiss when I see it as massive compliment.

I don’t think you can say Thank You enough. So much is left implicit when I think we can benefit from being more explicit each and every day. And yet this statement isn’t about thanking someone for doing an act. It’s about thanking them for the way they show up in the world and the impact that has.
