Don’t you think it’s unfair for ourselves to ask other people if we’re worth it or not? Like when they fail to check on us throughout the day we’d think we aren’t worthy of their time. If they try to hide us from the world we’d think we aren’t worthy enough to be proud about. If they run away before we could even hold their hand we’d think we aren’t worth the risk. When they refuse to know us deeper, we’d wonder if the things they saw from the shallows weren’t worthy of a deeper dive. Don’t you think it’s wrong to let someone, who doesn’t know everything you’ve been through, decide if you’re worthy or not? To let someone who doesn’t know your every struggle to reach where you are today, your every scar to be as tough as you are now, your every rabbithole and how you got out of it to declare your worth? Really, your value shouldn’t depend on how much they value you. Your worth shouldn’t be asked nor doubted in the first place. It’s given. You’re worth it even before you meet them. You’re worth it when you’re with them. And you’re still worth it even when they choose to leave. You’re worth it with or without them and you’ll always be.
