I am worthy of love and appreciation.

Nobody who loves you ran an assessment first. There was no threshold you cleared, no folder of evidence, no moment where the figures came in acceptable. They just found that they did, usually before they could have explained why.

Worth gets imagined as something you accumulate and could lose. A balance that drops after a bad month, a rude reply, a stretch where you were not much fun to be around. But the people who stayed through that stretch were not tolerating a shortfall. They were not doing arithmetic at all.

If you are running an audit on yourself today, notice that you are the only one holding a ledger.
