The closing line is quite profound. This beautifully written piece just reminded me of something I once heard — once heard someone say that whenever we think people won’t love/accept/validate us unless we have certain things, let’s try switching the “people” at the beginning of that sentence with “I”. And then see how you feel about it. If the feeling still remains the same then go ahead and get that thing just to see if you will actually love yourself better once you have it

I love this, Nicole, I really do! Thank you <3
