Enough

Is an unobserved flower somehow less beautiful? Is its life and purpose diminished if nobody sees it? Does a flower's value come from simply being a flower, or does it come from being noticed?

I think we forget that just because we're not getting attention doesn't mean we are less worthwhile. Like the unseen flower that grows in the deep forest, our value is not based on how much attention or how many likes we receive.

Our value comes with us and will leave with us. Whether a flower or a person, we own all our value. No amount of outside attention changes that fact. Please remember this if you are feeling alone or unnoticed. Simply being is enough.

Now, go find that lonely flower in the forest, sit down quietly, and smile. 😊
