Breathe.
You matter because you're important. To someone, to me.
Because you are worthy of love and belonging, just by existing.
Because you and I were both babies once and we needed love and care, just like we do now.
Because the world can be a lonely and scary place and community is the answer to many of our problems.
Because you are not alone.
There is nothing you have ever done that makes you unworthy of love and dignity. Even the most horrible things you can think of—it doesn’t take away the fact that you deserve a chance.
You matter because you care… you wouldn’t be reading this if you didn’t care about yourself or others.
Breathe.
