When you feel like you’re not doing enough to show how progressive you are about your present and future, someone or something will remind you without warning. That’s often the best way for me.

I used to be the one that would fish for compliments and adoration so heavily, it became one of the things I had to unlearn.

Yes, I’ve done it in rare times on social media, but what I’ve put out there of myself is my own proof that I’m worthy. Not just of one thing or several, but period.

That’s why it means more when so much as a positive meme comes from a reliable, and safe source. A friend, or family by blood or spirit, and even a romantic partner. Those are among the sources that we can relate to who can support what we’ve come to know is true in our own hearts.

Take any bit of time you can in your day to cheer on someone you care for. Let them know that their progress is being recognized and supported, even from a distance. You never know who needs that, even if they move as if they don’t. We all do.
