underneath.

"You are more important than you realize."

I have found that there are a lot of times in my life when I don't understand the previous statement. I either pump myself up in believing in it, and quickly lose my momentum with the thought - or I fail to recognize it altogether. I have also found that there are people in your life who are going to push you to follow one of two of those paths, and that you rarely are the person to decide on the path all on your own. There are going to be people who sweep you off of your feet and put you on a pedestal, who make you feel like no one ever has - like you finally are worth something to someone. There are also going to be people who continually make you feel as though you can never reach a level high enough. It's terrifying to know that other people have so much power over how you feel about yourself, and the life you lead - especially people you thought you could trust, people you love. But, I suppose then, you can really begin to appreciate those who do make you feel important, like you're not just another person, but that you're an individual. I don't know if you realize it, but you make me question why I put up with the feelings I put up with, when I have a friend like you who truly recognizes me for who I am. Thank you. I guess in every difficult situation there is a reason for it. With every heartache, there are blessings that come to life that you fail to acknowledge otherwise. And for that I thank God for my struggles, because I'm going to be okay no matter what happens.
