Giving Yourself the Validation You Begged Others For
She spent years waiting for someone to say it:
"You’re enough."
"You matter."
"You’re doing great."
But that recognition never came from the people she kept shrinking for.
The more she twisted herself to fit, the more invisible she felt.
Until one day, she stopped waiting. She looked in the mirror, and became the voice she needed all along.
"I see you."
"I’m proud of you."
"You’re already enough."
Healing didn’t come from finally being chosen. It came from finally choosing herself.
If you've ever begged for love with your silence, your overexplaining,
your overgiving — this is your reminder: You don’t need their approval to belong to yourself.
Have you started validating yourself, too?
Leave a “me too” or a ❤️ in the comments if this speaks to you.
