Are You Worth It?
I experienced someone beloved to me unable to answer the question, “Are you worth it?” They could not answer, like no words. I asked, hesitantly, feeling the fragility of the moment and trying to tread as gingerly as possible, realizing that saying nothing is always an option as well, still I felt encouraged to blow softly on this ‘barely burning wick’. The question that came, “Do you think I think you are worth it?” A quick response, relaxing even, “Oh yeah” (I was glad of that I can tell you!) Another question about their believing it, still no response. This time, there was no other response, but to hold it with them. The next day I was feeling something that did not seem to fit with other desires of mine and instead of trying to push my way through, I sat and allowed space for those feelings to communicate to me in words. After a little bit I heard the very same thing, here there was a part of myself communicating that I didn’t believe I was worth it either. Not worth doing...
