You have greater worth than you suppose.
So, please listen to what I propose.
Don't default to self-less,
but be more deliberate in your selflessness
leaving space for a little selfish too.
Dont settle for less. Don't just make do.
Learn what makes you happy and then embrace it.
Recognise what makes you angry
and carefully express it
without being cranky
confront frankly and talk.
Don't just shut down and walk.
And accept the help your friends offer.
They wouldn't have offered if they couldn't be bothered.
Your friends have an investment in your friendship,
so don't let those friendships slip. They too benefit.
When you make contact, know you do not impose.
Because, it's true, you are of far greater worth
than you have presupposed.

I've been seeing a grief counsellor. We went down many memory lanes and looked at how I live. These are my takeaways.
