Do You REALLY Need Validation From Others?

Do You REALLY Need Validation From Others?

Do You REALLY Need Validation From Others?  Or do you still want people telling you, "YOU'RE GORGEOUS, YOU'RE EXCELLENT, YOU'RE VERY GOOD" and so on?  It's true we all enjoy VALIDATION and we all enjoy appreciation UNTIL one day you realize that you've become addicted to these feelings.  And you realize that they just DON'T satisfy you, they COMPLETE you.  Certainly that was NOT conscious BUT the truth is you have become addicted to this sense of VALIDATION as if it were a drug you got hooked up to since childhood💴💷💵

It is AS IF then it was drilled in your head that those outward things in life are WHAT you need to VALIDATE you.  Eventually, you will develop a subconscious thought process that you CAN'T live without it because without it, you would think you DON'T even know yourself anymore.  BUT once you get it, you're on a HIGH.  A HIGH you then seem to obsess over because it then feels SO GOOD to your underappreciated soul.  It then CALMS you, it puts you AT EASE by confirming that you are VALID.  And if you DON'T get it, you yearn for it even more BUT at that point, our REALIZATIONS must sink in📗📙📘

A REALIZATION that you're yearning from the WRONG places.  A REALIZATION that you're yearning for the WRONG reasons.  A REALIZATION that you're expecting VALIDATION from the WRONG people, all just to get your FIX.  Then, you end up telling yourself that you need just a little bit this time.  You'll then settle for anything that reminds you that indeed you are VALID💎💎💎

Then, all along you forget that YOU ALONE, just as you are, is SO MUCH.  There's SO MUCH to you.  There's SO MUCH life, excitement, beauty and love to learn inside of yourself if you just take a second to appreciate it.  If you weren't so preoccupied with everyone else seeing it, maybe you could.  You can then learn to live without the constant VALIDATION and you can learn WHAT you've depended on them to tell you all this time✅✅✅

Our takeaway for today?  We need to LEARN that we are VALID.  We can show ourself the love, attention, and care we deserve.  The love, attention, and care we deserve because we are VALID.  And most importantly, we DON'T need anyone or anything to confirm it anymore.  Yes, you'll learn slowly BUT surely that this external VALIDATION ISN'T necessary to live, and that life is actually quite beautiful without it.  So, DO YOU REALLY NEED VALIDATION FROM OTHERS❗❗❗
