You Are Worth So Much

Believing the boy who told me I was worthless was the dumbest thing I have ever done.

You Are Worth So Much
Ally Reese

I’m sure you’ve all heard “Fall Apart” by Post. If you haven’t, you should.

“She told me that I’m not enough”

First off, this lyric hits harder than any other word he’s spit. Because there’s a good chance we have ALL been told this by a man who puts himself on a pedestal that is way to high. And as a woman, I’m speaking for us as a whole: you are more than enough, you will always be enough. And if he’s telling you that you aren’t, just know that you were plenty, he just wasn’t the right man.

I see all over the internet people tweeting things like “screw the person who makes you feel like Posts song ‘Fall Apart’” and I’ve never related to something so well.

Because they’re right. SCREW the person who made you feel worthless.

Forget the man that looked you in the eyes and stressed you weren’t enough.

Forget the man that made you feel small.

Forget the man that told you he loved you, then completely made you feel otherwise.

BUT

Remember the man that DIED for you because you are who He loves and continuously will love. (1 John 3:16)

Remember the Man who loved you at your darkest. (Romans 5:8)

Remember the man who will NEVER abandon you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)

You are worth a man loving you, the right man. You are worth the love God will unconditionally always have for you. You are worth being forgiven and loved. You are worth grace and mercy. You are worth more than the words a man told you because he felt the need to belittle you while building himself up.

If you’ve ever been told you were not enough, and believed it, I’m so sorry. Because I believed the boy who told me I wasn’t enough, and it’s the dumbes thing I ever did. But it’s time we realize who’s opinion matters and who’s love counts, because above all else Gods love reigns. And it always will.

“For the battle is not yours, it is God’s.” 2 Chronicals 20:15

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
