Believe You're Worth It


I can remember feeling weird about telling people I didn't feel like I was good enough, or that I was really worth fighting for.  I felt like if I said that to someone they would think I was only looking for attention or a pity party.  Of course there was the side of me that wanted to be told that wasn't the case, but I recognize now that in a way I wanted to cry out for help.  I desperately didn't want to feel the way that I did.  I wanted to believe that I was worth it. But, instead of working through the issues that would have helped me to get to the place where I believed in myself, I was looking for other people to make me feel like I was worth something.  And, no matter what someone else tells you, you won't truly believe you're worth it, until you personally believe it.

Ultimately, it takes not only dealing with your own issues, but pushing yourself to do things you'd never thought you'd do.  Experience is everything.  Combine the drive to learn and experience new things with your faith, and a person becomes unstoppable.  I now believe (most of the time) that I am worth it.  :)

Maybe it's because I've lived in an apartment for too long, and the sound of my neighbors slamming their doors and kitchen cabinets has become a big pet peeve of mine.  But, to me, her actions seemed a little rude.  It got me wondering... why do people do some of the things they do? After doing some Googling, it seems like there are many reasons for why people slam things like doors, cabinets, and toilet seats.  Reasons range from anger, lack of awareness, laziness, selfishness, bad manners, and lack of consideration for others.  I immediately did some self-reflection.  While I'm pretty good about not...
