You&#39;re just a good-hearted person.&#34;&#xA;&#xA;He probably didn&#39;t think twice about saying it. But I almost broke down right there.&#xA;&#xA;When you spend years surrounded by people who take from you, erase your contributions, and treat you like a burden... a simple moment of honest recognition hits you right in the chest.&#xA;&#xA;It almost broke the dam because it&#39;s the truth. And my spirit recognized it.&#xA;&#xA;Those aren&#39;t sad tears. That&#39;s just a starved heart finally getting fed.&#xA;&#xA;It reminded me of something important. The answer to being undervalued isn&#39;t to become a cold-hearted person. The answer is to remove the people who underappreciate your worth.&#xA;&#xA;I am worth more than what I&#39;ve been paid. I am worth more than the people who tried to use me. I&#39;m glad someone finally saw it.&#xA;&#xA;And the ones who don&#39;t see it? They don&#39;t get access to me anymore.&#xA;&#xA;🕊️ &#xA;&#xA;</html></oembed>
