Quote: "It's a strange thing to discover and to believe that you are loved when you know that there is nothing in you for anybody but a parent or a God to love."

Have you ever felt unworthy of love, believing that there is nothing about you that could possibly be deserving of such a powerful emotion? It can be a strange and overwhelming realization to discover that someone sees value in you, even when you struggle to see it in yourself.

When we feel like we have nothing to offer, it can be difficult to accept love from others. We may question their motives or wonder why they would care for us when we don't see anything lovable within ourselves.

But perhaps that is the beauty of love - it sees beyond our flaws and imperfections, recognizing the inherent worth and goodness within us that we may struggle to acknowledge. It is a reminder that we are deserving of love simply because we exist, not because of anything we do or achieve.

Whether it comes from a parent, a friend, a partner, or a higher power, love has the ability to transform our perception of ourselves. It can help us see the light within us that has been dimmed by self-doubt and insecurities.

So, the next time you find yourself questioning your worthiness of love, remember that it is not about what you can offer or achieve. It is about being open to receiving the love that others are willing to give, even when you feel like you don't deserve it.

Allow yourself to be vulnerable and accept the love that comes your way, knowing that you are worthy of it simply because you are you. Embrace the strange and beautiful reality of being loved, even when you struggle to see why.
