Instead of focusing on what people will think of me, or how to improve my self-worth, maybe I should take a look around me and think about how I can be of service to others and make them happier instead.
Small little actions like my dad helping to fill my water bottle (cos I'm forever almostttt late and rushing to leave the house) or buying back dessert makes me happy, and I guess I can do the same for others too. Maybe there's alot of things about myself I can't change or is hard to improve, but I'm sure I can do the small little things.
The world tells you that you need to be successful, find a good job, earn alot of money, get into some prestigious profession that is worth your degree. THAT, is considered success. I will tell my (future) children- you don't have to.
I don't mean be a bum and underachiever, but really I feel that society puts unnecessary stress on pursuing "success", and are forever comparing. Just be a good person, be of service to others and contribute whatever you have that is within your means.
This reminds me of the story of a poor woman in the bible, who only gave one penny to the church offering and was scoffed at by the pharisees. Jesus then reprimanded the pharisees and pointed out that the poor woman had actually contributed the most out or everyone else, because she had given her all.

I always have manymany random thoughts flowing through my head that I can't seem to capture down.
