It’s 3 am and you are staring at the ceiling, thoughts are going through your mind. Thought asking yourself if you matter, if having a good heart matters? Looking at everything that’s been going on in your life and wondering if you’ll ever be happy? Well if you have you are not alone and if you haven’t then consider yourself lucky.
I am here to tell you that you matter. You are special, you are worthy of all great things, you are a unicorn that farts glitter you are that amazing. Forget about that friend that left you, let them walk away, and wish them well (secretly hope they spill red wine on the floor and staining the white rug).
People that have a big heart don’t understand how much joy you bring into people’s lives because honestly, they take advantage of you. You can’t control what people do, you can’t control how people see you. You can’t control that people might take advantage of you. You can control how you respond tho, you smile (while in your head saying fuck you) and wave to them. Waving goodby because you know you matter.
I want you to look yourself in the mirror every morning for 15 days in a row are say this, “I am worthy of great things and I matter!” At first, this will be hard for you but you need to keep it up. Each day it will get easier and easier, you will start to smile when you say it and your confidence will grow.
Stop telling yourself you don’t matter. Stop telling yourself you’re a horrible human. Stop yelling yourself you should have done more. Because you are amazing and you matter! You matter more than you know to people who just don’t tell you. You matter, you make this world a better place. So just smile, put gel or hairspray in your hair and go out into the world. Because the world needs to see your awesomeness and we need you to keep showing up.
