💜
I used to do this without even realizing it…
Whenever I didn’t feel wanted, I made myself needed.
I’d overgive. Overdo. Step in. Fix. Hold space. Be the strong one.
Because being needed felt like the closest thing to being chosen.
But deep down, I was trying to fill the gap—
The part of me that longed to be seen for who I was, not for what I could do.
There’s a difference between being valued for your presence
and being kept around for your function.
One honors your essence. The other can leave you drained.
If you’ve ever felt this—like love only comes when you’re useful, helpful, or giving more than you receive—
know this: You are worthy of being wanted just as you are.
Not because of what you do, but because of who you are.
If this feels familiar… I want you to know something real:
You don’t need to perform to be loved.
You don’t need to be useful to be enough.
Learn how to want yourself.
Choose you—gently, fully, and without conditions.
That’s where everything begins to shift.
