To The Person Who Feels Like They Are Worthless

Banish those negative voices and see your worth.

To The Person Who Feels Like They Are Worthless
Her Campus

Sometimes we all need a little encouragement. Sometimes life gets us down. Sometimes the people around us drag us down rather than building us up. Sometimes the person dragging us down is ourselves. Believe me, I’ve been there—more than I care to admit. But I am here now to tell you that you don’t need to listen to those negative voices.

Have you ever felt like the world would be better off without you?

Have you ever felt like there’s no one who really cares?

Have you ever said to yourself, “There are nine million people in this world, why does it matter if I’m not a part of it?”

Let me stop you from that train of thought right now. This is coming from a person who has been in that situation.

It doesn’t matter what hand life has dealt you, or where that path has taken you.

YOU MATTER.

Everyone has a life that is worth living. Every single life on this planet matters. That does not exclude you.

Think of your parents. Think of your little brother or sister. Think of your older brother or sister. Think of your grandparents. Think of your best friend. Think of your boyfriend/girlfriend or your spouse. Think of your children or future children.

There won’t be any future children if you ended your life right now.

It may seem like no one in your life cares, but I promise you there is at least one person who would break if you took your life.

There may have been people in your life that made you feel as if you are not worth anything, but I promise you that they were lying to you.

You are not a failure.

You are beautiful.

You are loved.

You are smart.

You will get through this day, and the next.

The sun will rise, and we will try again.

Believe in yourself, even on the days that you can’t seem to love yourself.

If any of this spoke to you, I recommend finding help. That help can come in the form of your best friend, a parent, a counselor—anyone that you trust. Find things that distract you from these negative voices and emotions, or find hobbies that let you express them. Finding an outlet that isn't harmful to yourself or others is an important part of taking care of ourselves.

And please take care of yourself.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
