You Don’t Need to Be Chosen

You don’t need to be chosen.

Not by them.
Not by a job.
Not by anyone who isn’t fully sure about you.

I think a lot of us spend so much time waiting for someone else to validate us.

To pick us.
To see us.
To decide we’re enough.

And somewhere along the way, we forget…

We get to choose ourselves.

You don’t need to convince someone to see your worth.
You don’t need to shrink yourself to fit what someone else wants.

The right things in your life won’t require you to prove why you deserve them.

So if you’ve been waiting…

Take yourself off the waiting list.

Choose yourself first.

Pour your coffee, stay awhile.
