Your style is fresh, and reading your pieces made me miss brevity, and realize how it can leave a big impact. I felt a little bit of loneliness once you introduced "you" and in the fourth and fifth line. Reflecting on the way some people can easily dismiss us, or not realize we're trying. Or when others see us as one-dimensional, when we have a great deal to offer, even if it's not always apparent and tangible to that particular person. Loved the focus on self-love, and honing in on what IS worth keeping, which spoke to me about the parts of ourselves that, even if chaotic, want to do good and are sincere. The last lines made me go back to the beginning two, and the struggle to find our place through what we do and create and how we interact. To know that it's okay to feel uncertain or stuck, and that even then, there maybe is some meaning, even if others tell us it's insignificant.

Enjoyed the read!

And, don't think I've properly said it, but welcome to this site!
