It is easy to feel insignificant when the individuals you love
aren't able to communicate or connect with you in the way you need.
And it is so hard not to internalize that silence as a reflection of personal worth.
But the truth is the way that others operate is NOT about you.
Most individuals are so caught up in their own struggles and anxiety
that the thought of asking someone else how they are doing
or even taking the time to truly care to know does not even cross their mind.
This does not mean that they are inherently selfish or uncaring.
They are merely busy and self- focused and that is okay.
It is not evidence of some fundamental failing on your end.
This does not mean that you are unlovable or invisible to all.
It just means that people are not very good at looking beyond their own world,
but the fact that you are - that despite that darkness you feel,
you have the ability to share your love and light with the world.
That is a strength.
Your job isn't to alter who you are to appease anyone other than yourself.
It is to find people to give you the connection you need.
Because despite what you feel,
despite how others have made you feel,
you are not too much to handle.
You are not too sensitive or too compassionate.
You are thoughtful and empathetic to your surroundings.
You are emotionally driven and have a kind heart.
And you do not need anyone else's approval or affection
to feel anything other than what you are.
YOU ARE ENOUGH.
