I'm worthy of attention

I’m Worthy of Attention
See the end of this email to feed a desperate child with a single tap. (takes one second)

Hey!

This one can feel uncomfortable to say out loud, especially if you’ve spent a lot of time being overlooked, talked over, or feeling like you had to earn basic care. Being worthy of attention doesn’t mean you need to perform, impress, or take up more space than you already do. It simply means your presence matters. Your thoughts matter. Your feelings aren’t an interruption. And the fact that you sometimes crave attention doesn’t make you needy, it makes you human.

Here’s something people don’t admit enough. When you go a long time without being truly seen, you start questioning whether you’re allowed to want connection at all. You might downplay your needs, stay quiet in conversations, or tell yourself you’re “fine” when you’re not, just to avoid feeling like a burden. That doesn’t mean you’re asking for too much. It usually means you’ve learned to survive without enough. Wanting attention isn’t a flaw, it’s a signal that something inside you wants to be acknowledged instead of ignored.

You don’t need to justify your existence to deserve care. You don’t need to be louder, easier, or more interesting to be noticed. You are worthy of attention simply because you are here, and because being seen is a basic human need, not a weakness.

A Little Note from Me:

There were times I convinced myself I didn’t need attention, when really I was just tired of not receiving it. Pretending I was self sufficient felt safer than admitting I wanted to be seen. What changed wasn’t suddenly getting more attention, it was realizing I was allowed to want it without shame. If you’ve been feeling invisible lately, there’s nothing wrong with you. You’re not asking for too much,you’re just asking for something real.
