Value YOU

Everyone wants to feel valued. No one ever wants to feel left out, or even worse, left behind. We struggle to keep up with the pace of the world. We constantly find ourselves running and out of breath. We pretend we don’t care about society and their ideals. But in reality, deep down, even though we won’t all admit it: We care. We want the world’s approval because we somehow think that’s where our value comes from. Why is it that we always place our value in other people’s opinions of us? This time, let us try something different. Let us set our own pace. Let us run our own race. Let us make up our own standards and live by our rules. This is our life. So let us place our feeling of value in ourselves, not in others.

"You are far more strong and worth it then you dare to believe"

Written by our newest contributor Ashley: 

Dearest, I can feel it. The air getting caught in your chest. the weight forcing itself upon you, making the bones beneath you weak. I can feel the questions rising. What's wrong with me? Why doesn't he love me? I can feel the hope draining out of your heart.  Wether its a raw wound or an old whispering one.  You can't seem to escape those questions. But, do you know what I know? That you are not reading this by mistake. That you my dearest, are so worth loving! That after the ground has been broken, only then beauty flourishes. I know that you were made for bold and beautiful things. That I honor you for loving so passionately and that one day a man will risk loving you that fully. I want you to know that I've been there only a few months ago, that the pain I felt was so deep it threatened to split my bones. Yet here I am, waking in the night to tell you: You are far more strong and worth it then you dare to believe! Let me say it again. YOU ARE WORTH LOVING! YOU ARE STRONG! Read it as many times as it takes to sink in. Will you dare to believe?
