are we good enough?

Oftentimes, I do asked myself if I'm really worth all the love that my parents are giving me... Have you ever asked yourself regarding such?

Oooohhh Crystal. Children are worth ALL the love and more that parents can ever give. The thing is, you don't have to BE good enough. A parent who loves their child and shows it it's not because you're good but because they made you. You are theirs and special just because of who you are. Not what you do, or what you think or even what you say. Who am I? - you may ask. A daughter. A human being entrusted to your parents to give love and support to. And it sounds like they're doing just that. Parents love when you don't feel loveable. Accept it. Open your heart to it. Don't think, "I'm not loveable, so why do they love me?" Instead, think, "They love me, therefore I must be loveable." My younger brother has often struggled with this especially during periods of depression. If you are thinking that you may be depressed, please see your doctor. Post a list of good things about you on your bathroom mirror and refuse to think anything bad about yourself. Replace negative talk with positive talk. I wish you the best!

I've been seeing my doctor for quite some time now regarding my insecurities in life. What's so good 'bout it is that, it really helps me get through with everything. The only problem is that, I am fan of giving myself the whole list of things that probably do not exist. Thanks anyway for the advise...

Hi m18*%$(whatever)Crystal Thanks for putting up such a discussion. I think u r a person who really cares about what u actually give back to others rather than just recieving......... I think my parents have really been so good that i will not be able to return even 25% of what they gave me, i always was endowed with such nice people that i feel heavily indebted towards them and think deeply if i can ever give them in return for what they did..............I confess here that I was never a good gal.....booooooooo

Since you brought it up, its keep running in my head. I think loving is unconditional thing to do, you love even if the person deserves it or not, you just love simply because you love. I think you are really worth it all of us are worth it.
