Finding Your Worth in the Chaos You Live In By BigmommaJ
There is a kind of chaos that doesn’t just interrupt your life it becomes your life. It’s waking up already tired. It’s carrying invisible weight. It’s surviving day after day while quietly wondering when it will finally be your turn to breathe. And somewhere in that chaos, many of us begin to believe a lie: that our worth is tied to how well we’re coping. But worth was never meant to be proven by perfection. “I learned how to survive before I learned how to live, how to stay quiet in storms I didn’t create.” When Chaos Becomes Your Normal For many of us, chaos isn’t new. It’s familiar. It’s what we adapted to as children, what we endured in relationships, what trauma taught us to expect. When chaos becomes your normal, peace feels uncomfortable. Stillness feels unsafe. Healing feels like something you’re not quite allowed to have. So you keep moving. You keep showing up. You minimize your pain and tell yourself you’re “fine.” “I wore strength like armor, even when it was cutting into my skin.” But survival, no matter how impressive, was never meant to be your final destination. The Lie Chaos Tells You About Your Worth Chaos has a voice. And it’s cruel. It tells you that because your life is messy, you must be broken. That because you struggle, you are weak. That because you’ve fallen before, you will always fall again. But struggle is not a flaw — it’s a response to pain. You didn’t lose your worth when you became overwhelmed. You didn’t give it up when addiction, trauma, or heartbreak entered your story. You didn’t fail because healing isn’t linear. “I thought being strong meant never breaking, but breaking was how the light finally got in.” Your worth doesn’t disappear in chaos — it reveals itself there. You Are Worthy Even Here Even if: 1.You’re rebuilding your life again 2.You’re in recovery and some days are heavier than others 3.You’re parenting while healing wounds no one ever tended 4.You look put together on the outside but feel fractured within
