I’ve been waiting for my whole life. To hear that line.
To feel, to understand, to be appreciated.
Sometimes I feel, I don’t need it. I don’t need anyone’s approval.
What am I, a four-year-old child? A pet?
At times I feel, I don’t need anyone anymore. I can live off on a remote island, in the countryside alone, or some monastery, being religious, devoted fully to God and all.
But I also understand, I need connection.
I, however tough that I am, however independent that I am, I, do need people.
People to love, people to be in love with, people to love one another.
That is what life is worth living for.
We all, need that connection in life.
No one is an island.
So, no matter where you are, how you are doing, what situation you are in, how you are feeling.
I want you to know, that I, am absolutely proud of you.
I am proud of who you are, what you have gone through and still are staying strong.
I am proud of you, even at times you feel you cannot keep going on, you still try to hang in there, that even you might numb yourself at night with whatever means you get to and are comfortable with, you still wake up in the next morning/day, try to be someone, try to make something of yourself. You still try to work hard and be the best for those around you, especially for those you are close to. Because you know, deep inside, you want to show them that you care about them, that they would still stand up every day and try to make the best out of themselves no matter how tough the situation they are in.
It’s called “pay it forward.”
Because, when you try to be tough and caring for someone else, you also gain another day to live.
Helping others helps yourself. It’s that simple.
So today, get out there, and help others. Focus on other people, especially when you feel like you can’t keep going on.
When you focus on helping others, you feel good. And then you understand, even when you feel you are absolutely helpless/worthless, you, are enough. You are important to others. And you know that deep inside you. You only need to be reminded. By focusing on others.
So today, no matter how terrible you got knocked down yesterday. You get back up. And you go out there, and be who you want to be.
Because you my Friend, are worth it.
And I your Friend, am proud of you. Absolutely, 100% proud of you.
Peace out. Namaste.
