Seeking validation is such a slippery slope and I wholeheartedly agree with the idea that we have become too dependent on the approval of others to aid us in getting through our day to day existence.

However I have also seen the other side of this as well. Finding people who don’t withhold their love and congratulations during moments that are significant to you, that’s so priceless. I find it heals parts of us that are worthy of being held in such a full way by those we trust and want to keep close.

Things get challenging when we force or expect things from others that they might not be willing or open to giving, but appreciating those who give wholeheartedly is healing for everyone ♥️❤️
