Your feelings are valid

Your feelings are valid

Author: Charlotte Ashley-Roberts October 26, 2022 Duration: 10:43
During lockdown I remember walking along the street, a friend went by and she asked me as she passed by "how's it going, you know?". I knew what she meant. Of course I knew. It's all any of us were talking about. Lockdown learning. "Yeah, it's going well" I said, "better than last time, the learning is more structured which works better for us". She couldn't feign her surprise. "Really??" She said quietly, "it's worse for us. We've had more meltdowns than ever and it's only day two". "Still", she said, "could be worse. I keep thinking that, when I'm in the bathroom streaming. There's always someone worse off than me". I could see her eyes filling with tears. She was trying to hold it in. "Yes, that's true," I said, "there's always someone worse off, but that doesn't mean your feelings aren't valid. It doesn't diminish your feelings right now". I don't think she believed me.

Your worth is not determined by the judgments of others or external measures of success. It's an inherent part of who you are. Embracing your innate worth is a journey, but it's a journey well worth taking.
