Knowing your self worth is saying no to something that doesn’t add value to anything, much less yourself
It’s taking a step back to look after yourself when you get a gut-wrenching feeling
It’s holding your tongue when the argument starts, not just for the other person, but for your own peace of mind
It’s not holding onto the pain of being ignored in the group chat because you know it’s not intentional
It’s understanding that your life goes on whether or not you get a text back
It’s drowning out the self loathing when another thing goes wrong
It’s learning to say no when your cup is too full
And also to say no when it’s empty
It’s remembering all the times you felt good about yourself or when you thought ‘you are enough‘
It’s lipsyncing to Ariana Grande on a walk home on a sunny evening and believing what you’re saying
It’s knowing that you would have been the bigger person if you were in their shoes
It’s remembering that external validation holds no substance over who you think you are as a human being
It’s knowing that only your validation alone counts
It’s walking away from a situation knowing in your heart and soul you did the right thing and did it kindly
It’s realising that no other person can or has the right to control your emotions or thoughts. It’s also knowing when it becomes emotional abuse.
Knowing your self worth is being prepared to walk away from any situation in which you don’t feel comfortable anymore
And knowing when to power through
“It’s remembering that external validation holds no substance over who you think you are as a human being”. beautifully said, it’s important we realize this, know this and truly accept this.
