You Matter: A Daily Reminder

You matter,

Even when the room is quiet and no one calls your name,

Even when your phone stays silent and the world feels like it's moving without you.

You matter,

You matter,

Not because of what you produce,

How many people admire you,

Or what you've accomplished.

You matter because you are here,

Because you breathe,

Because you feel,

You think,

You dream,

You try.

You matter because no one else in this entire world carries your exact voice,

Your memories,

Your spirit.

You are unrepeatable.

You matter when you're creating.

You matter when you're resting.

You matter when you're doubting yourself and still getting out of bed.

You matter when you're overwhelmed and unsure and you keep going anyway.

You even matter when you stop.

You are not invisible to the universe.

Your existence makes a quiet echo across space and time.

There are ripples in people's lives and places and timelines just because you lived.

Even if no one claps,

Even if no one sees your effort,

It is not wasted.

What you carry,

What you love,

What you hope for,

Those things are alive inside you.

That is meaning you don't have to earn your worth.

You were born with it.

You don't have to prove you matter.

You already do.

So when the world feels cold or indifferent or too loud to hear your voice,

Come back to this truth.

You are enough.

You are still becoming.

You matter exactly as you are right now.
