When we ruminate on the notion that our life hinges on being lovable, it’s often a dance with deep-rooted emotional needs and the heavy hand of societal pressures. From the get-go, we’re wired for love, acceptance, and a place in the tribe. This yearning isn’t just a whimsical desire; it’s as crucial as the air we breathe, deeply embedded in our emotional framework.

Yet, the world around us pumps up the volume on this innate tune. Our cultural tapestry, woven with tales of heroic love and cinematic romances, champions the idea that our worth is measured by how lovable we are. It’s a relentless broadcast, shaping our self-image and expectations through glossy, yet often unattainable, ideals.

And let’s not overlook the scars left by past wounds—rejection, abandonment, the echo of doors slamming shut on our needs. These are not just passing clouds but storms that can settle in our psyche, making us believe that our value is a prize awarded only with affection from others.

Here lies the power of curiosity—your invitation to challenge these narratives. What if being lovable is just part of the human experience, not the entirety of it? What if our worth is inherent, non-negotiable, and not up for societal auction?

By embracing curiosity, we crack open the door to a realm where our worth is a given, not a question. It’s about turning the lens inward, exploring the landscapes of our own minds and hearts with compassion and a dash of irreverence towards those old, limiting beliefs.

Remember, you’re not here to be lovable; you’re here to be fully, wildly, authentically you. And that’s more than enough.

Earlier this week, Noah Kahan talked with Gayle King about his first nomination – and his mental health.

He credited his parents with helping him to be open about what he’s going through and said that when he is writing a song about something uncomfortable or painful, he tries to look past the feeling and recognize the potential lifeline he might be offering to someone.
