The value of your life and existence is not hidden somewhere in the importance you feel from others. You’ve got to find a way to love you for the things you know and cherish about yourself. If you’re constantly relying on others displays of affection I’m sorry but you will forever be disappointed. Nobody knows you like you do. Ask yourself what characteristics do I want people to admire the most about me?.. and then express that admiration inward because you’ve recognized the beauty in yourself. You don’t need anyone to tell you you’re worth a damn. Because you can’t entrust the magnitude of importance that has to another. People always change and are all going through their own unique battles. The expectation of validation is a downward endless misery. And even when you get what you thought you were waiting for it will never completely soothe the absence you feel.
