I have often needed praise to feel successful. As I grow older, I realize the point of accomplishment is not appreciation. Instead, it is the realization that good work has been done. Though I may fall back into people pleasing patterns from time to time, I am actively working toward humility. I long to shine bright, so that through me, people will find the source of the light.

My light is not my own.
