Nice words to share: “You are worth a lot”

The voice of Roy Galán is a podcast by writer Roy Galán for Cuerpomente magazine. You can listen to the podcast in this video or read the inspiring words from him.

You are not worth anything in life.
That statement, so repeated, can condemn an ​​existence.
You can do it because we human beings need to feel like we matter.
What are we worth?
There are many ways to make someone feel like shit.
One of them is to define her against her emotions.
Against what you feel.

Against their desires and illusions.
From all that you scratch every day to feel that things are a little worth it.
Another way is to make a destination.
One you don’t know if you want to go to.
One that arises from the defect for not arriving.
For not complying

For not being up to the gaze of others.
You are not worth anything.
They tell you in a classroom while others rub their hands because they are worth it.
Because for you to win others have to lose.
Because for you not to fit in, others have to fit in perfectly.
They must be the role model.

You are not worth anything.
They sentence him.
Before a body that balances to continue existing.
With how complicated it is to get to this planet.
And stay.
Because anything can make you disappear.
Because the only certainty is that we were born and that we will die.
But you’re not worth anything, no.

The physical and psychological impact of dealing with what surrounds you is not enough.
Besides, you have to be worth something.
For something thought and devised by others.
You have to be useful to the system.
And if not we will call you donkey.
We will make you feel bad for not knowing something.
We will laugh at your ignorance.
Of your illiteracy.

We will distance ourselves from you by saying that we do.
That we are worth
In this absurd game.
But it is not true.

You are not worth more for knowing more.
You are not worth more for knowing where something is or how to write a word.
You are worth what you give.
For what you say and for what you do.
And by how you treat others.

You are worth much more than what they told you

You are shit.
Or so you think.
That’s what they’ve always made you feel.

Because you’re not too handsome.
Because you’re not too smart.
Because you don’t stand out at anything.

Because you don’t know what you want.
Because you are a zero to the left.
Because you’re not good at it.

Because you are clumsy.
Because you are shit.
But it is not true.

Because they are the shits.

They are the ones who treat you badly.
Those who have sniffed your wound and put their fist in.
And you get hooked.

To what confirms what they have made you believe you are.
You think that’s all you deserve.
Scorns.

Because you are shit.

But it is not true.
Because you have your life.
You have a brain.

You have a mouth to say NO.
You have the right to be treated well.
And to be loved for who you are.

Because you are a prodigy.
That you are here is amazing.
that you exist

You are beautiful, beautiful, because you have managed to exist.

So take all those people who have never valued you.
block it.
And start surrounding yourself with people who really love you.

See all the flowers.
that houses
your inside.
