My dad and I were talking yesterday about one of my family members and he was explaining to me how important it is to be valued in a relationship. He told me, “If you put five dollars in the bank and they only gave you three dollars back, you would be pissed, right? You wouldn’t bank there anymore, would you? They’re not giving you what you gave them.”

I thought that was a perfect analogy. To recognize your worth and the effort that you give. To demand more. To realize that relationships are two people- not one.

My dad’s a pretty smart man.

Does the sun ask itself, “Am I good? Am I worthwhile? Is there enough of me?” No, it burns and it shines. Does the sun ask itself, “What does the moon think of me? How does Mars feel about me today?” No it burns, it shines. Does the sun ask itself, “Am I as big as other suns in other galaxies?” No, it burns, it shines.

Oh my God, what if you wake up some day, and you’re 65, or 75, and you never got your memoir or novel written; or you didn’t go swimming in warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It’s going to break your heart. Don’t let this happen.
