I must confess that yesterday was a hard day to love myself. I just didn't feel it. It didn't matter privately or publicly, I felt sick of myself.
Now, these are lies. You can say it's the devil whispering in your ear (or whatever reasonable explanation tells you). It doesn't matter because thinking I'm not worth anything is simply not true.
Let's move away from me and focus on you okay? You struggle to wake up after the previous disaster of a day and you think: why bother? Your existence won't change anything or anyone right?
Wrong! You do not know, behind the scenes, what everyone else is going through. You do not know how your existence can change someone's day for the better. Your existence changes everything that orbits around you. It's true. The world needs differences made up of all of us to make it great. This means that you are a part of a day that is meant to be great. There are only things that you only you know how to be that are needed for tomorrow and forever after that.
Imagine that! You shouldn't try to be something you're not. In fact, you can't be something else because that's not you. For the same reason that I cannot be an auto mechanic, you cannot be <insert something you are not>.
I realize that my worth is spread out among all sorts of different roles in life. Spouse, parent, employee, hobby enthusiast, sibling, friend and child are just some of the things that we can spread the joy to that only we can spread.
So, yesterday was a rough day but today, I am better and I will spread my worth to my family, friends, colleagues and my writing.
You can spread your worth too.
May you shine like a brilliant emerald today.
May you give your doubts the middle finger.
May you learn to love yourself the way others do.
May you be the one, the only, you.
Forever and ever.
Amen.
