Today is my birthday, and while the world moves around me with smiles and celebration, I find myself quietly battling feelings of self-doubt. It’s a struggle I carry, wondering if I’m enough, if the things that make me me are worth seeing.
I try to push those thoughts aside, but they linger, whispering in the background. I long for someone to look beyond the surface, to recognize the uniqueness within me that I sometimes struggle to see myself. I hope, more than anything, to be valued for who I am—not for perfection, but for my heart, my spirit, and the small, beautiful ways I add light to this world.
Maybe today, I can take a step toward embracing that, too. And maybe, someone else will see it, and help me believe it.
