I want to tell you about the years I barely saw my children. I was young, newly an executive, and the only thing standing between my kids and real hardship. Their father gave nothing — not before the divorce, not after. I was the sole provider. Everything they had, I earned. And the place I earned it had no boundaries at all.

Sometimes people lose the very thing they prayed for. Not because it was not meant for them. Not because life was punishing them. Not because the blessing was false. But because deep down, they did not believe they were worthy enough to keep it. This is what low self-worth does quietly. It does not always look like sadness. Sometimes it looks like overthinking.
