Chatterbox: Down to Earth

I wanted to

I wanted to teach ya'll something.

So. Today we're gonna learn some words and what they mean.

Words: Fantasic, amazing, inspiring, sweet, kind and fabulous.  

Meaning: You. 

You're amazing. Everything you do, from the tiniest inhale to the biggst accomplishment; all of that is truly fabulous. Even if it doesn't seem like it right now, if you feel worthless, don't give up. Because you- you are inspiring and sweet and kind and fantasic.

You are worth it. Believe it and live it. 

Every day, I struggled. I got up in the morning and nothing seemed worth it.  I felt so worthless.

And you know what? Last September, I met you guys. I discovered some people -- some places -- some times are worth it. Sometimes I'm worth it.

You guys are so worth it. Your support and your friendship help so much. So very much.

Yesterday, I started feeling worthless again. Because my life has been really messed up lately. I haven't been getting along with my family and I've discovered some things about myself that make me scared.

But now, when I'm here with you guys, I don't feel that anymore. I feel like this is worth it.  

So remember that. Remember just how worth it you are. And I'll try to too.

Why, thank you! I am a naturally self-confident person. I saw that you left out one thing. You forgot that you are always worth it. Even when you are feeling like a loser. You are still worth it. If not, why are you here? I know I am probably not much help, but maybe you should surround yourself with books. Read like crazy. It might cheer you up, unless you are reading a sad book. Or you could go for a bike ride. Exercise is supposed to help you cheer up!

Remember: YOU ARE ALWAYS WORTH IT!!!

Thanks, Corina! This was a beautiful post! I've felt worthless lots of times. To the point where i began giving up on life. I didn't care about anything. I would go into my closet, open the door a crack, and sit there for the whole day. But now that I go on the CB, I have something to look forward to, and you guys are so helpful and supportive. This is a place I can feel comfortable in, and be myself. I don't have that many friends, because of my religion and stuff, but you guys don't care that I'm different. And I'd like to thank everyone here for giving me hope.
