Jessica Dehn - Valid

I am Valid!

Every thought, every feeling, everything is valid!
Do not discount me because you disagree.
Do not ignore what you don't understand.

I am Valid!

No I can not explain what it is I feel, but
this does not make it untrue.
No I can not stop thinking this way or that way.
No I will not ignore myself, because I am valid.

I am Valid!

Every thought, every feeling, everything is valid!
My mind will change, my feelings will change, but everything is valid.
It will not make sense to you. You will not see my side.This does not change what I believe.

I am Valid!

Yes I might me wrong. Yes I will at times overthink and make a mess.
Do not discount me because of this. I am valid. Each thought I think and each feeling that passes is valid. They are my right!
They are me, each piece makes up a part of me. To deny any of them is to deny me.

I am Valid.
