“Despite what your brain is telling you, you don’t have all the time in the world. One day youll wonder where all that time went.”— Jenna Evans Welch, from Love & Olives
It’s the insecurities about ourselves that make us look for confirmation of our own worth, lovability and general validation on the outside, in others. It’s cause we probably never felt appreciated or validated as a person or human being, but we had to prove our worth somehow (maybe through good grades or behaviours).
But we need to take control of this and start realizing that we can validate ourselves. That we are humans and therefore worthy of love and appreciation despite anything else our mind and upbringing or any other issue that may have arised, want us to believe.
It’s all inside of us since the first day we were born. We have nothing to prove to anyone. We don’t have to reach any specific or particular goal in order to be deserving of love. We’re already deserving. It’s our natal right.
