“Don’t tell me I’m worth it because the last person that did lied. Don’t tell me I’m worth it because then I become a number. This is when I get a price tag; it tells me that I’m here at some cost. The moment you say it, I become a credit card and all credit cards get maxed out eventually. It means I’ll suddenly have a limited number of chances, of mess ups, of over reactions before you throw in the towel and say you’re done with me. It means I become work. That I can bring you pain, suffering, grief, hassles, hardships. Instead tell me I’m priceless. This way I know I give you something money can’t buy; that there’s something about me that makes your life better or maybe even something I give you that you’ve decided you can’t live without. This way I know that I don’t require work, just a lot of effort.”
