You're still worthy and deserving of love even when... Your effort went unnoticed and unacknowledged. You cry over something you thought you were already over. You cancel plans because your heart feels heavy. You need reassurance for the third time about the same fear. You don't recognise the person you've become in survival mode. You regret how long you stayed somewhere you were not valued and respected. You're tired of being the strong one. You're starting over again when everyone seems settled and far ahead. You don't have the energy to be positive. You feel like you've disappointed someone you love. Your progress feels invisible. You feel like you're not healing fast enough and the old wounds keep surfacing. You're battling thoughts you don't say out loud. You think you will always be "too sensitive". You don't know what you're doing with your life right now. You're exhausted from pretending you're okay. You think you failed. Your shame does not get the final say on your worth. And what you deserve doesn't fluctuate with your circumstances.
