you are loved

It didn’t just appear out of nowhere. But lately it has peaked.

Her behaviour frightens me and worries me. Seeing her like this makes me want to cry.

She keeps saying that her life is devastating and worthless; that she hasn’t made anything special out of her life. She has so much time to figure out the direction she wants her life to be headed though – she could do anything she wants, I tell her. But it was hard to do this, she feels, because luck wasn’t on her side. She thinks that she’s incapable of doing things. But I know this is completely untrue. I have seen her in her everyday routine, and she astonishes me with her sheer intelligence. She’s quick-witted, sharp and smooth. She could knock out any one of us. But she’s too down on herself to realise this.

She says that she hasn’t done anything to make anyone proud. But I beg to differ.

I’m proud that she walked into my life.
