When we are born, our potential is endless. Our parents have every hope for us to become some of the greatest human beings the world has ever seen. They thought we were over-achievers when we spoke “words” that were absolutely not words. As we got older, we realize that our parents were, in a way, right about us. We were born unique, and we are some of the best humans the world will ever see. We are a gift to the world because no one shares the same passions, gifts, and ideas as another person. Some people are gifted with understanding and empathy while others are competitive and outgoing. No one on this earth has the same purpose, so I’d say that qualifies you as pretty much anything but worthless. Try fabulous maybe.
Worthless means to have no purpose or value. How can you be worthless if you were born with your own unique looks and talents? How can someone tell you that you aren’t pretty enough or smart enough? I can answer that. It is absolutely not a thing. Society provides an ideal and something for people to strive for, whether it be physical or emotional. For example, models are beautiful, but they are most certainly not a look for a young girl to idolize. For many, sizes 0-4 aren’t attainable. On the other hand, maybe a skinny girl wants the ideal curvy figure. Regardless of who you are and what your body type happens to be, someone is always displeased. I am here to tell you that you are absolutely beautiful no matter what picture society paints. After all, your worth isn't measured based on your body image, but it is based on what lies within your heart.
What if you feel worthless because a guy threw you away? Why weren’t you good enough? I can tell you something. You are absolutely worth everything, and if he didn’t see it, it’s his loss. You are pretty enough, smart enough and funny enough. No one should ever feel empty or dead inside because someone didn’t want them back. In fact, tell him thank you for giving you the opportunity to find someone who will love everything about you. Instead of looking for someone to make you feel important, you make yourself important first. Use your talents to better yourself, and don’t wait for someone else to do it for you. You are worth it. Who knows that better than the person you see in the mirror every day?
The things you do aren’t meaningless. If you can make someone laugh, that’s important. If you can run a marathon, that’s inspiring. If you can be yourself, that’s all anyone can ever hope for you. While we can see the negatives in ourselves, it’s important to recognize the positives. Choose to see your value. Understand that no one is worthless because to be worthless is to have no purpose, and we all have a purpose. That purpose is to share with the world everything that makes you special.
