#UnseenScar
I remember being in grade 3, and I had drawn a picture of my family. I was so excited to show it to my mom, but when I gave it to her, she barely looked at it and said she was busy. I felt invisible and unimportant.
Even now, I sometimes find myself craving validation and attention from others, especially when I've done something I'm proud of. I'll share my achievements with people, hoping they'll acknowledge me, but then I feel like I'm being needy.
It still stings because it made me feel like my efforts and feelings didn't matter. It's like my emotions were dismissed, and that's a hard feeling to shake off.
One way I've grown past it is by learning to validate myself. I remind myself that my worth isn't defined by others' reactions. I've started journaling my achievements and celebrating my small wins, which helps me feel seen and appreciated.
Revisiting this memory, I realize that my mom was probably just stressed or distracted, but it felt like a rejection. Now, I'm working on being kinder to myself and recognizing my own value. 🌟

Your journey towards self-kindness and self-recognition is inspiring. It’s a reminder that while we can’t always control how others respond to us, we can cultivate a sense of worthiness from within
