No matter what you have been told, I promise you: you are good, you are deserving of happiness and joy, and you have so much to share with the world.

It's time for you to see that, too.

Take a big breath in and out, and then say these words to yourself:

"I am worthy, exactly as I am, And nothing I do or don't do will ever change that. I have a great deal to offer others, I am a human being who deserves love and care, And I matter; the world is lucky to have me. Today, I will try to remember these things, And embody them in all that I do."
