I'm nobody's leftover..

What I fear the most is not living...

Walk to your mirror and have a conversation with yourself..

Tell yourself⬇️

I'm nobody's victim...

I'm nobody's casualty...

I'm nobody's leftover..

I'm nobody's walk over..

I'm nobody's doormat...

I know my worth..

I know my value..

I have options, and I have the courage to pursue them..

I do not fear death...

What I fear the most is not living...

I would happily die living and thriving than die decaying daily...

My life must have meaning ...

I am deserving...

I am the prophet of my own destiny...

I will chart my own course...

I will write my own story...

I will make my own rules..

And at the other side of this journey, if there be

anyone left standing, that someone will be me.

I am enough..

I am sufficient...

All that I need to thrive in my own life on my own lane resides within me..

As long as there is breath within me, I will never give up..

Never give up on myself..

No matter what challenges me, even if it kills me, I'm prepared to die trying...

My happiness is paramount...

I'm not a match stick..

I will not burn myself out to light anyone up.

My dreams are valid..

My wishes are valid..

My opinions are valid..

My voice is valid...

I will be heard.

I matter..

I count...

And I possess the will to exit situations that no longer serve me.
