Feeling Stretched Thin? Here's a Message for You

I want to share something I recently read that felt like a warm embrace. If you could use one right now, here it is:

“Imagine yourself as a baby. You would look at that baby and think they lacked nothing. That baby came complete. Their value was innate from their first breath. Their value did not depend on external things like wealth or appearance or politics or popularity. It was the infinite value of a human life.

And that value stays with us, even as it becomes easier to forget it. We stay precisely as alive and precisely as human as we were the day we were born. The only thing we need is to exist. And to hope.”

- Matt Haig, The Comfort Book
