Why Are You Worthy of the Utmost Respect? 1 years, 8 months agoRESPECT....Find out what it means to me
Hannah G.I’m not a robot
I wasn’t made to spew facts over feelings
I feel freely and deeply
I cannot deny my experiences and my story
I have a story that people may know nothing about
There is no formula or algorithm to predict what and how intense I will feel.
I just do.
So mind what you say and do
Because you’ve never walked a mile in my shoesI’m not a scarecrow full of stuffing and no brain
I know when I am not being respected
I know when there is not an equal exchange of time, energy, effort, and love being given
I know when love is being withheld.
I have learned the difference between tough love and blatant disrespect under the guise of tough love
My brain on the best of days tells me of my worth
My brain on the worst of days may try to lie to me
But that does not change the truth
And the truth is that I deserve to be invested in
I am worth people’s time, energy, effort, and love.
And I will settle for nothing less.I’m not a tin woman
I have a heart
It beats, it breaks, it bleeds
It can shatter, it can also be stitched up
It is a treasure
Only those who are worthy of it can hold it
But it shines for all to see
Those who approach it must learn to honor it
For they would want theirs to be received in gentleness and love
Just as I do.I’m not a cowardly lion anymore.
I have found my courage.
And if you disrespect me you will hear me roar
I will roar loudly and mightily for what I deserve
I will no longer tolerate disrespect
I will be my own hero.I’m not a lot of things
But I am a human
I am a daughter of the King
I had dignity and worth from the moment of my birth
And that will never change
So regardless of how you perceive me
With the utmost respect is how you should receive me.Voting is closed

Hannah this piece is so stellar!! I love love love the movie analogies you used. I felt it deeply. We definitely can tell when we are being loved, liked, and cared for respectively or if we are just being tolerated!! You are absolutely correct! This is another piece I need to hear live!! Thank you so much for sharing and please stay well! 🙂

Hi, Hannah. Aiša here. Thank you for sharing your story and its playful undertone with all of us here.

And this right here:

Why Are You Worthy of the Utmost Respect? 1 years, 8 months agoIt Starts With Me
Cherie M.We are shackled by insecurities
Followers and likes make up our worth
External validation is what we seek
It’s a never-ending curseBut I was looking in the wrong places
The answers are found deep within
So I’m reintroducing myself to me
And so this new journey beginsHello, it’s nice to meet you
I’ve longed for a best friend
I decided to become the things I need
No longer living a life of pretendI tell myself I’m worthy
And validation starts with me
I no longer need to look elsewhere
I’m exactly where I need to beI was born to be successful
I was born to share my gifts
I was born to give love to this world
I was born to build and upliftI am worthy because I’m loving
I am worthy because I care
I am worthy and uniquely created
Hand-crafted with so much to shareYou are worthy when you wake up
You are worthy when the sun sets
You are worthy and I love you
In case no one has told you that yetVoting is closed
