“Revalue” ourselves

Being devalued hurts immeasurably. Hopefully it propels us toward revaluing ourselves. Realizing that our love is precious, our advice is wise, our lives are important.

We are not the sources of their pain and we aren’t the solutions. We can only contribute as much as they value. Until then, we can love them by trusting them to navigate their own journeys and love ourselves by staying committed to our own journeys, valuing what we have to offer ourselves and those who can receive it. Hoping they find the solutions to their suffering.
