Hi, Just Remember That...

You are Valid.

Hi, just remember that...

You are valid.

We live in a world where we tend to find out validity in other things than our own selves.

Living a life solely on finding the validation of others is no life to live at all. It is like trying to eat fast food for every meal of the day, you are never truly going to find satisfaction!

I feel like in the days of Instagram and Twitter we become so attached to finding the next big thing we can do to grab a new follower or two, to get an extra like or comment to make us feel good. It can go so far as finding ourselves creating facades on the internet to seem "cool" and get an unnecessary validation from strangers on the internet.

We do not need to prove ourselves worthy to strangers on the internet. It is so much more important that we find validation within our own selves, that we find out the potential in our lives, what sparks joy in our hearts and live our lives for that joy and potential.

That potential is what we need to let our hearts, souls, and minds be surrounded with, not who recently liked our post or followed or unfollowed us.

The validation of others means nothing if you have no validation within yourself, or a steady path to walk on. You do not have to go to extreme measures to prove yourself worthy of affirmation and acceptance.

I sometimes worry about our future, as most of us do not know how to find their spark, or how to look up from our phones and into the life in which we live to search for that potential. Myself included, but I am trying.

If you find yourself having to take extreme measures and create fake versions of yourself just to prove yourself as worthy of appreciation of others, then something needs to be changed in your life. Take a break from the internet and enjoy the world that we live in for a change. Find out who you are. I promise you in 70 years that will be much more important than how many likes you got on a post in 2019.

So with that being said, please know you are valid and loved. You do not need to become someone your not for the purpose of getting some acknowledgment from anyone. You are worthy and important just as you are!

Never forget that,

-B.J.P
