It is a mellow night tonight, like sitting in an empty, dimly lit cafe with a soft jazz band playing slow music that is putting me to sleep. A gentle puff of steam rises from my hot tea like a holographic image of someone I wish was here, but no, I am alone with only my thoughts to keep me company.
It’s funny isn’t it, that here in this solitude I feel worth something — but in a crowded room, surrounded by people I thought were friends, I feel worth nothing. I have never been able to reconcile that concept really. We live in a world where everybody is defined as being something and if you are not their perfect image of what that something should be, you are low value to them. Should it really matter though? The only person that can be a fair judge of your worth is you. You know your strengths and weaknesses, your perfections and flaws, you know more about yourself than anyone else ever will.
So don’t ever let the world tell you what you are worth. Define yourself, and be the person you want to be. How do you feel about yourself and is it important to let others define expectations for your life?
