I want you to know that 
you are not lovable because 
of the roles you play, 
the sacrifices you make, 
or how well you take care 
of others. You are not lovable 
because of how much you give, 
how often you say yes, 
or how perfectly you try to 
present yourself to the world. 
You are not lovable because 
of how well you hold it 
all together and pretend it 
doesn't matter. 
You are lovable in your rawest 
form - loveable in all your 
emotions, all your messiness, 
all your mistakes and all your 
perceived imperfections. 
You are loveable even when 
you do not meet any of 
the expectations the world 
has placed upon you.

(Ailey Jolie)
