It’s ok to admit that you’re hurt – that’s what I’ve realized.
It’s 12 : 41 PM on day 2626 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read 2 Corinthians 4:15-16 and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet -raised $4 681 only $7 819 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot (thanks to everyone who has helped out so far).
Today I realized that it’s ok to admit (if only to myself) that I’m genuinely hurt after all when all is said and done I’m just a 26-year-old girl who often wonders if anybody cares that I exist.
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t ask that question many times in their life. But most also find that once they make an honest inventory of the things people have done to reach out to them and demonstrate their care (however irrelevant that gesture is to us), then they know that they are, in fact, cared for in one way or another.
