It's easy to feel
uncared for when people
aren't able to communicate
and connect with you in
the way you need.
And it's so hard not to
internalize that silence as a
reflection on your worth.
But the truth is that
the way other people
operate is not about you.
Most people are so caught
up in their own responsibilities, struggles, and anxiety that the thought of asking someone
else how they're doing
doesn't even cross
their mind. They aren't
inherently bad or uncaring
-they're just busy and
self-focused. And that's
okay. It's not evidence
of some fundamental
failing on your part. It
doesn't make you unlovable
or invisible. It just means
that those people aren't
very good at looking beyond
their own world. But the
fact that you are-that despite
the darkness you feel, you
have the ability to share
your love and light with
others-is a strength.
Your work isn't to change
who you are; it's to find
people who are able to
give you the connection
you need. Because despite
what you feel, you are not
too much. You are not too
sensitive or too needy.
You are thoughtful and
empathetic. You are
compassionate and kind.
And with or without
anyone's acknowledgment
or affection, you are enough.
