Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.
One lesson I wish I had learned earlier is this:
You don’t have to prove your worth to be worthy.
For so long, I tied my value to how much I could do, how strong I could be, how much I could give. I believed that being “useful” meant I was lovable. That if I just kept showing up for others, someone would finally see me the way I craved to be seen.
But all that did was leave me drained. Unseen. Silently resentful.
I now understand that rest is not laziness. Saying no is not selfish. And being soft doesn’t make you weak. I don’t need to earn love by being perfect or over-performing. My presence is enough. My peace is enough.
If I had learned that earlier, I think I would have been gentler with myself. But I’m grateful to be learning it now.
