“You are worthy of friends who love and care for you in the same way you love and care for them. Having friends that you can rely on and cry to when you are upset is one of the most valuable things in life.

You are worthy of a significant other who appreciates and adores you. It may take some time to find the person you are meant to be with, and you may have to go through some trial and error along the way. But never settle for someone who treats you poorly or who always thinks about themselves before you.

You are worthy of a family who loves and supports you, even when you screw up. Especially when you screw up. It may take some time and effort to build solid relationships with your family members, but it’s worth it.

You are worthy of your own self-love. Because there is only one you, and there are dozens of things about you that make you unique and beautiful.”
