i matter

August 29, 2021

I bought this strap because I was born into a family that doesn't love.. By that I mean, my mother told me herself that she doesn't know how to love.. Childhood abuse led me to attempt suicide because I thought I was a burden. I have spent my whole life trying to make the outcasts feel loved, I never thought to love myself! I always seek others approval not realizing I am enough! So dealing with depression and PTSD has been hard especially dealing with the coronavirus so when I seen the zox advertisement on Facebook I just clicked on it because i was bored actually.. But when I read the story behind the creators and the purpose zox strives for I couldn't help but browse through the bracelets. When I came across the "I matter", tears started to run down my cheeks, because all my life I have waited for someone to say that to me. And I never realized I was seeking my own self love and assurance. With this bracelet everyday I can remind myself that "I matter" and my life does have a purpose. Maybe I can't see that purpose yet but it's there! Remember life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride! If no one has told you today ( yea you) the one reading this right now, YOU MATTER!!! AND I LOVE YOU! YOU CAN DO IT!! HOLD YOUR HEAD UP AND YOU WALK THRU THE FIRE! ITS BEAUTIFUL ON THE OTHER SIDE! remember diamonds are coal and formed out of pressure! Be your own kind of beautiful my friend because normal is boring! This world wouldn't be the same without you! You got this💙
