You showed kindness to others in the way you wished to receive it. You cared as you wanted to be cared for. Yet this world often couldn't return that same kindness and care. Those around you couldn't always show up for you as you did for them. So, you wonder if you're even worthy of love, appreciation, and compassion. You wonder if you've done something wrong. It's heartbreaking how the world made you think that way. I know it's hard to be a giver, rarely finding yourself on the receiving end. However, despite everything you've been through, you didn't let your heart grow cold or bitter. You still believe in goodness and gentleness. So, I hope you stumble upon people who will make you realise that you are worthy too and deserve to receive everything you so unconditionally offer to others. People who will hold your worn-out soul with tenderness as you heal from all the hurt you've had to endure. People who will offer their hand as you dig your way out of the darkness. You will look at them, and you will know that you are home.
