If another man wanted me, I was valuable. I was esteemed, no matter that it wasn't self-esteem.

Don’t ruin your life over somebody else’s foolishness. If they want to leave, let them leave! Manipulating, begging, or coercing someone to stay with you is an insult to SELF. Have confidence in yourself! Know your worth! Take a stand for YOU. You deserve to be loved, respected, and appreciated by someone who’s genuinely in love with you. It may hurt to let go, but trying to force someone to stay with you is more damaging than you realize. It’s VERY unhealthy. Set Yourself Free! Be a Priority to Yourself!

It isn't worth it, if they make you feel worthless.

When a parent believes in taking something for nothing, but does not believe in giving something for nothing they do near irreparable damage to their child's soul.

The opinions of others do not define who we are. Remember that how we see ourselves, is the most critical factor in determining our self-worth.

You must love yourself before you love another. By accepting yourself and fully being what you are, your simple presence can make others happy.
