Things Aren’t Always About You

Well looks like I’m starting out in a good grove for this writing thing- starting a day late, after already being 5 days late on top of it all.

ANYWAY.

Today’s prompt?

You.

Now how should I look at this? Should I write about me or you? Cause when we read the word ‘you’ we instantly think of ourselves, right? Or is that just me..?

But I think I am going to write about you.

Yeah, you reading this.

Because you need to know something.

You need to know that you are pretty dang great.

You need to know that you are cared for, that you are loved, that you are worth it- worth the fight, worth the pursuit, worth the effort.

Uh- I know, cheesy stuff to say right? But the thing is- every one of us need to hear that truth. Too many of us have been living in the lie that we aren’t worth the love or the effort.

But we are. You are.

You is kind. You is smart. You is important.

No matter what age, gender, job title, or economic status. You matter.

And all I ask of you today is to believe it.

So do something for you today. Treat yourself today, because you deserve it. Then do something for someone else too. Because they matter too.

No, not everything is about you. But today, it is.

See ya soon,
