You Are Worth More

"Your worth does not diminish based on whether or not someone likes you."

You Are Worth More
Chobir Dokon

Hey little soul,

You have been broken and knocked down. You have given more of yourself to people than they deserve. You have let your heart be trampled on by those who had no right to hold it. You have determined your worth based on what other people think of you or what you think other people think of you. You think that because have been hurt and abused, that you deserved it and that somehow it was your fault. You think that because you have not received the right kind of love that you are unworthy of it. Your heart aches to be desired, to be chased after, for adventure, and for a deep love. You pursue other things, other people, trying to satisfy a heart that moans. You have sought after the love you so desperately desire but your heart has been scarred from giving it to the wrong people. You believe that you are worthless and it doesn’t matter what you do.

I have some news for you.

YOU ARE WORTH MORE.

You are worth more than a friend who wasn’t as good of a friend as you thought. You are worth more than parents or grandparents who seem to never understand or accept you. You are worth more than a reckless boy who has no care for what he does with your heart.

You are worth so much more than what other people think of you.

You DESERVE more.

You deserve people who truly care about you and protect your heart as their own You deserve to have adventure and be pursued by someone who loves you not in spite of your flaws, but because of them.

Your worth does not diminish based on whether or not someone likes you. Your worth is not defined how many friends you have, your family, whether or not you have a girlfriend or boyfriend, what your grades are, or what you look like. Your with is determined solely by you, and you have to know what you are worth. You are worth a million diamonds, a million fields of roses, a million twinkly stars in the sky, and a million romantic songs wrote just for you. You might now believe me, but it is so so so so true. You are worth more than you could ever imagine and you have to know that!

You are passionately loved by the Creator of the Universe,

You are His prized possession.

You are His crowning jewel and glory.

It hurts Him to see you throwing your heart around when He is always right there beside you.

He always has an unending amount of love that never fails, unlike humans.

You are worth more. You are loved passionately. You deserve more.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
