To anyone feeling unworthy of love today…

You deserve love on days you don’t hide behind the mask that says, “I’m fine.”

You deserve love when you’re convinced your illness has pushed someone away.

You deserve love on days you don’t feel like the perfect parent for your child.

You deserve love when depression says, “You’re not good enough.”

You deserve love on days you just don’t feel OK.

You deserve love when a flare-up makes you cancel for the thousandth time.

You deserve love on days when your disability makes you feel like a burden.

You deserve love when you’re out of spoons and can’t get to the chores.

You deserve love on days when every symptom shows up all at once.

You deserve love when you struggle to love your own body and mind.

You deserve love on your best days and on your worst days.

Even if something or someone convinces you otherwise.

And most importantly,

you are worthy of love for just being you.
