You are not a burden.
Your existence does not need to be justified.
Feelings are not flaws.
Needs are not inconveniences.
Struggles do not make anyone less deserving of love.
They are part of you, and you are sacred and worthy of love.

You donโ€™t have to prove your value through achievements or perfection.
Worth isnโ€™t something you earn. Itโ€™s something you already carry.
You are worthy. Every part of you matters.

You deserve all the happiness this world can offer.
You are enough, just as you are.
