Message to my younger self

Message to my 20 year old self

“Trust the strength you already carry within. There will be people who recognize your worth, but don’t depend on their recognition to define it. Seek validation from your own resilience and accomplishments, rather than from others who may not see your full value. You are more than the sum of others’ perceptions of you; you are worthy of love, respect, and acknowledgment simply for who you are.”
