The thing about life is that it is not a game with balls that you have to roll down to the goal to win prizes. It doesn't have checkpoints that you have to reach to receive an award stamped "love" or valuable". Your identity doesn't have pre-requisites.
Your life is loved, is needed here, is treasured and valuable, just because it is. Your existence doesn't hold a checklist that you have to tick off before you can be loved. You are valuable, more precious than diamond, of immeasurable priceless worth, simply because you are.
You have breath meaning your life is valued here. You contributed something to the world that is so needed here. The way you have impacted so many lives goes unnoticed by many but mostly by you. You have no idea that you have touched countless lives and made an impact on them simply for being there.
You have a smile that matters, a heart that matters, a voice that is needing to be heard, you hold a heart that is so so loved.
You don't have to earn the love that you deserve for every beat of your heart signals that you are loved- it is what keeps you alive in the innermost parts of you.
As you face today and even reach a new day tomorrow please remember that regardless of what the world may throw you at, your true identity is unshakeable: loved beyond measure, valued with an infinite worth, treasured, worthy of life, and needed here.
❤️
