S P E C I A L

Mother told me that I was special, at an age when I didn’t know the meaning of that word. “Special to me” she said, not one but a lot of times. When I get older, then I look up to that word that was floating in my brain, and I see it in a dictionary, and then I heard it on a movie; then in my friends, then in teachers, then in my job, in the people in the streets. Then in myself, like a sound bouncing inside me. Every single time was a different meaning. But I know now what my mom meant. I’m not human.
