You're not alone.
We all know what it’s like to feel unloved.
That gut-wrenching feeling of being left out, broken up with, or being pushed away by the people you love. It can leave you feeling so useless, lonely, and unwanted.
You are not alone.
It may feel like it for a while. It may seem like you are so alone and no one cares about being there for you.
I know where you’re at. It can feel like the world is so big that there’s no place for you in it. But you’re so wrong. There are 7 billion people on this planet, which means at least 7 billion chances to feel loved and show love.
You don’t have to give people the power to make you feel unloved. If someone is treating you poorly, there are people out there who will treat you better.
And the first person you can go to is yourself.
When you love who you are, other people will gravitate towards you, and those people will respect the strength and courage you have to say, “No matter who comes and goes, I love who I am and I trust myself."
You don’t have to be all the way there, it’s always a journey. But taking the first step is knowing that there are people who you can listen to and lean on who have lived through what you’re going through.
Whatever it is that’s making you feel lonely or unloved, know that you are, and have always been, strong enough to get through it.
These 10 inspirational quotes about strength are from people just like you, who know exactly what to say to give you hope. There’s light at the end of the tunnel, my friend.
