What is Your Worth

 Today, I am feeling pretty priceless (at least so far this morning). Normally, I feel closer to worthless. I’m comfortable there, close to worthless, because we are often most comfortable in what we most know. I’ve been in many situations at many different points of my life in which I was informed and often reminded that my worth was not only below their own, but that I wasn’t worth much in my own right. 

I have often looked in the very wrong places in order to establish my worth. Sex, drinking, destructive behaviors....all just solidified what others had been saying, I wasn’t worth much. This just makes depression so much darker, anxiety so much more active...it’s just not a good result at all. However, I have been hearing some things lately that I never really heard before (had been said but I just didn’t receive it as applying to myself) that I am really listening to and for now. I do not believe in coincidences at all...I believe fully that EVERYTHING happens for a specific reason, no matter how small of a detail it may be. 

So, I started hearing, at a Sunday Church Service at a church I hadn’t been to before, that my worth was in God and God alone. That He determined eons ago that I was worth making and programming and loving. That I was in fact, worth the time and effort to create me in such minute detail that He knows how many hairs are on my head at any given stage of my life. My worth was not set by man or woman or situation or experience. My worth was determined before my physical body was ever formed. I have been seeing/hearing confirmation of this in so many ways recently. I have had someone apologize for years of wrong doing, having requested my forgiveness and explained that they were the one wrong and that I was amazing. I have had someone tell me, almost daily, how sweet and beautiful and amazing they believe me to be. I have had restored relationships tell me how they wished they had never lost any time with me because of how wonderful or loving or whatever they believe me to be.

 Have  had someone tell me over and over just how much my worth really is and what they truly think of me.I have been listening to and taking heed to all that I have seen regarding my worth recently. I have decided to believe this about myself. I have decided that I am worth know and loving and liking and wanting . I have decided that I am unwilling to accept anything less that my definition of worth as was given to me by God as my creator. My worth is immeasurable and deserves to be acknowledged. I deserve to be acknowledged and loved and treasured. I will not accept people to be important to my life if they do not acknowledge my worth to be at least as much as their very own. 


All my love, Me

I Will Find Me

Who am I? On my own, without you, who am I? I used to know who I was and who I wanted to be, but then, you blew into my life so hard and fast my head is still spinning after how many years...I try to take inventory of myself, you know, keep myself in check and the right course. But somehow, at some point, I lost my direction. Not in every aspect in life, I do have to keep living. But, I've noticed that I don't know who I am without you anymore. I've realized that every thought I have about movement in my life, you intrude and I try to figure out how you would want me to move. Kind of like playing chess and waiting for your opponent to tell you what your next move should be. Well, I do not want to wait and guess and wonder for someone to direct my footsteps. I am independent at my core, I always have been and always desire to be so. I've needed another before, someone that I allowed to tell me the next move, someone I sought out for most everything in my life whether g...

Fairy Tale Dreams and Harsh Realities

Why do we settle? Why is it that we think we only deserve just so much? I've always know what I wanted but I was always of the opinion that it was unattainable for me. I wanted what was always depicted in fairy tales and love stories. I wanted a happy home where everyone loved each other. Everyone was happy. All were healthy. All the needs were met and the desires were obtainable. This is definitely not the hand of cards that I have been dealt nor that I have experience playing. I know financial struggles. I know worrying about how you're going to feed your unborn child when you have money enough to get a mountain dew and a snickers bar to spread over 2 to 3 days. I remember handing washing clothes in the bathtub and hoping that you catch enough sun on the roof during the winter to dry them rather than freeze them. Man, jeans are harsh when you put them on off of a freezing roof! I remember walking around during the day just looking for returnable pop bottles. For those wit...

Daily Violated

I've never felt comfortable while taking a shower. I always fear that someone is going to walk in, or stay in and watch. I don't like this feeling. It controls me to the point that I have always bought and used a see through shower curtain so I can see if someone is there. I have also always had a severe fear of being trapped. So, whenever possible, I shower with the bathroom door open. Small steps that help alleviate 2 huge fears.  I do not like being woke up in an intimate manner. I often wake disoriented and confused and scared. I've expressed this to those that needed to know. There are certain words and phrases that just make my skin crawl. There are certain ways that I do not want to be touched. Certain tones of voice make me want to hide and cry. When I allow someone to get close to me, I express these things in more in order to avoid ending a friendship or relationship over something that could be prevented. However, I have heard such things as "you need to ...
