Value.

I had a bit of an epiphany this morning as I was getting ready for my day.  In my career, I am valued for the words I can craft.  This makes sense and pays the bills.

In my personal life, I feel I only have value if I do things for other people.  Oh, that's not healthy at all.

What is my value?  How can I feel valuable absent the feelings of others, absent the needs of others?

I'm not sure I even understand the idea of value anymore since it seems to only appear (for me) when others are around.  If that's true, then does value disappear when you're alone?  Are you value-less?

Things I need to think about.
