So...

There are times when I put myself "out there" and when I get no response, I feel as though the silence speaks volumes about my worth.

Intellectually I understand that how a person chooses to act or not act is more of a reflection of himself/herself as opposed to of me. And although I know this, while in the moment, it is an emotional tug of war not to take the potentially perceived slight personally-- even if prior to reaching out I swore to myself that I wouldn't be negatively affected if I received no response.

I guess I'm looking outside of myself for some form of validation, aka love, and, honestly, I'd like to stop this search as no one can fill me with worth from the outside in.

Intellectually, I know I am enough. I guess the more I practice knowing this while in the moment, the easier it will be to live it as second nature.

In the interim, I ask God and all my angels and metaphysical friends to help me with my fear of being less than. I say I've had enough with building my castles on sand! Help me build it on solid ground. I'd really love your help.

Thank you
