Are You Loved? Am I Okay? Am I Enough?

This is the first chapter of a new book, except love. It's about knowing that we are loved by god and other people. The whole world becomes an extension of your need to be validated,. seen, loved and approved of. When you're so wrapped up in thinking about how unlovable you are, there's no room to think about other people. You don't have the capacity to love people without trying to make them the solution to your deep chasm of loneliness.
