No your worth.🌺

You are enough🌺

Here's the truth:

X

You can be a really good friend, and still not be liked. You can hold someone dear and still not be valued. You can say all the right things, and still have someone twist your words, brush off your words, or worse-use your words against you.

You can give it your absolute best, and still have it not work out.

You can be straight-up sunshine in the flesh, and still walk into some heavy rain clouds.

Check your own heart. Clean out the junk, and grow from it. Apologize, and now that you've learned-take that wisdom, do better next time, stay humble, and give others an awful lot of grace along the way.

There is a purpose to it all. There is beauty everywhere. That failed friendship will teach you how to do the next one better. That heartache will remind you to be gentle with other people. That loneliness will help you appreciate connection when you do find it -and you will find it. Not every season lasts forever, but every season does produce something precious eventually, even if it's just a fresh perspective.

So sleep well, my dear friend.

Life is a long series of letting some things go and holding others close

-a catch and release sort of cycle.

Let go of needing approval. Let go of bitterness, and resentment, and any of that junk. Let go of insecurity.

Let go of guilt. It will keep you shackled like nothing else.

Hold close to your family and the people in your life who have stuck around. Hold close to your morals and your integrity. Hold close to your light and your joy and your hope. Hold close to today. Believe in tomorrow. Hold closest to love. At the end of the day, it's all that really matters, and as long as you have it

-you have more than enough.

so when you are ready to settle down in your life, make sure it’s a man/ woman who treats you right, who doesn’t leave you alone at night wondering why you wasn’t good enough.

value yourself and just know there is no actual written law in this world to which road to take, just make sure it’s one that is full of love’s warmth embrace, as it’s a long time to live in an institution of a loveless and cruel place, make sure you value yourself.

you are worthy you are enough, you are uniquely you!
