The Importance Of Appreciating Yourself

You might feel alone, I'm here to tell you, you're not.

The Importance Of Appreciating Yourself
www.iamru.by

To come this far in life, I have walked through Hell and back. I know it sounds bad, but I'm here to tell you it gets better. I've talked many friends out of self harm as well as suicide. I love hearing what other people have to say and making sure everyone feels important in their own way. If you're like me, you know the struggle of always putting others before yourself.

Sometimes, when we do this it's easy to lose track of loving yourself and it's hard to remember that it's okay to put yourself before others every once in a while. It's okay to take care of you, if you're always taking care of everyone else's needs and wants. We tend to forget that making ourselves feel important is something we should do as well. Why I say "Never Give Up" is simple.

If you're the person who people come to for stress-relief, venting or even a shoulder to cry on, it can be hard to find someone to be there for you and your own stress-relief or venting. You may ask yourself, "Where's my shoulder?" Most people, myself included, tend to feel unwanted and under-appreciated. Well, we aren't. Because of you, people have survived. You turned their tears into smiles, their broken hearts into mended minds, and, most importantly, you have influenced them in one way they can't forget. Because of you, we are still here. When you feel lonely, don't be scared to turn the page in the book of your life.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
