You Are Worthy



You are worthy of being fully seen, loved, and chosen for exactly who you are.

In a world where so many relationships feel rushed or superficial, it can be hard to believe in your own worth. With endless distractions and options, you might even wonder if you’re truly deserving of someone’s full attention and commitment. But here’s the truth: you are.

Your worth isn’t something you have to earn or prove. It’s not about being perfect or flawless. It’s about being human. You deserve to be shown up for simply because you exist, and it all starts with how you show up for yourself.


What Worthiness Really Means

Many of us grow up thinking we have to earn our worth—whether through success, looks, or being good enough for others. But real worthiness doesn’t depend on any of that. It’s unconditional.

Ask yourself:

Do I believe I’m enough, just as I am?

Do I let people see the real me, even the messy parts?

Do I choose to value myself, even when others don’t?

These are tough questions, but they’re important. When you start to believe in your own worth, you’ll see that being chosen by others starts with choosing yourself first.


How to Show Up for Yourself

Before expecting someone else to show up for you, you need to do it for yourself. This means:

1. Setting Boundaries: Saying no to things that don’t feel right for you.

2. Prioritizing Self-Care: Taking care of your emotional, physical, and mental health.

3. Practicing Self-Compassion: Letting go of harsh self-criticism and embracing your imperfections.

When you consistently show up for yourself, you’ll naturally create a life that reflects your worth. The right people will notice—and they’ll show up for you too.


Choosing Yourself

Making yourself a priority isn’t selfish; it’s necessary. Choosing yourself means:

Walking away from relationships or situations that make you feel small.

Refusing to settle for less when you deserve so much more.

Believing you’re worthy of love, respect, and care—because you are.

Every time you choose yourself, you remind the world how you deserve to be treated.


Embracing Vulnerability

To be fully seen and loved, you have to let people see the real you. And yes, that takes vulnerability. It means saying:

“This is who I am, flaws and all.”

“I’m worthy of love, even when I don’t have it all figured out.”

“I deserve connection, even in my hardest moments.”

When you’re willing to be vulnerable, you open the door to deep, meaningful relationships with people who truly see and value you.


Reclaiming Your Worth

If you’ve ever felt overlooked or unchosen, it’s easy to think it means you’re not enough. But someone else’s inability to see your worth has nothing to do with your value.

Reclaim your worth by:

Forgiving yourself for past choices where you settled for less.

Letting go of the belief that you have to “earn” love.

Reminding yourself every day that you are enough—exactly as you are.


You Are Worthy

Your worth isn’t something you demand—it’s something you embody. Not everyone will meet you where you are, and that’s okay. The right people will. They’ll see your light, honour your value, and choose you—not because of what you give, but because of who you are.

When you choose yourself, you raise the bar for how others treat you. When you show up for yourself, you attract relationships where people show up for you too.

You are enough. You are worthy. You are loved. Always.

My Mantra for 2025: Let Them

Image
Happy New Year, everyone! It’s that time again—new year, fresh goals, and perhaps the odd existential crisis. Just me? No? Well, this year, instead of committing to the usual resolutions like eating healthier, exercising more, or finally tackling that stack of unread books, I’ve chosen something refreshingly simple, oddly liberating, and slightly cheeky: Let Them. Now, let’s be clear—this isn’t about passively surrendering to others or rolling over for anyone. Far from it. Instead, it’s a practice of stepping back from the exhausting urge to control what others do, say, or think. What Does "Let Them" Actually Mean? Imagine this: you’re in a meeting, mid-sentence, and someone interrupts, steals your idea, and then butchers it. Instead of letting frustration consume you, you think, “Let them. Let them make a fool of themselves.” Or, your perpetually flaky friend cancels plans at the last minute—again. Instead of resenting them, you shrug and think, “Let them flake. More time fo...

Escaping the Mental Prison: A Journey to Freedom Life can often feel like a mental prison, trapping us in cycles of negativity, fear, and self-doubt. But true freedom is possible when we confront our inner struggles and take deliberate steps toward healing and growth. This journey is continuous and personal, but it is always worth the effort. Facing Our Inner Demons Freedom begins when we face what’s holding us back. It requires us to stop blaming others for our problems and take responsibility for our growth. We must stop avoiding our issues and start dealing with them directly. Letting go of secrets, guilt, and shame, and processing unresolved grief, allows us to heal. We also need to confront traits like stubbornness and resentment. By releasing these emotions, we can free ourselves from their grip.

The Little Rituals That Keep Me Grounded

Image
(Source: Unsplash, photographer: Sixteen Miles Out) Some days I feel like I’m barely holding it together. Like I’m stitched together with string and hope and a whole lot of pretending. And the world just keeps spinning. Loud. Fast. Relentless. While I’m quietly trying not to fall apart. But there are these little things I do. Small things. The kind of things no one else would even notice. And yet somehow, they help me breathe. They pull me back. They remind me I’m still here. Waking up early. Just breathing. Before the world gets loud, there’s a moment of quiet. I drink a glass of water. Not because I’m thirsty. Because I promised myself I would. It’s such a small thing, but keeping that promise matters. It tells me I can trust myself again. Then I make my coffee. Strong. Black. No sugar. No milk. That first sip feels like a deep breath. A soft “you’ve got this” before the day begins. I sit. I write. Sometimes it’s a mess. Just scribbles. Thoughts I didn’t even know I was car...
