Rumi: "Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself."

There is nothing wrong with wanting attention. It doesn’t make you selfish. It doesn’t make you desperate or pathetic or weak. It makes you human. We all want to be noticed. We all need to feel seen and heard and valued. And we all deserve to have those needs met. You are no exception. You deserve to take up space. You deserve to be acknowledged and loved and cared for. You deserve to shine. Don’t let anyone, including yourself, convince you otherwise.

Sometimes we underestimate ourselves so much, that when people compliment us, we can never believe them.

Sometimes you have to do what's best for you and your life, not what's best for everyone else.
