Note: Consumption or Commitment? Being Wanted vs. Being Valued

Some mornings feel like walking through a supermarket of feelings where we click, swipe, and consume—connections, images, relationships—only to feel empty after. Being wanted is thrilling, but fleeting; being valued means being seen for all of who you are, not just what you offer or how useful you are.

In a culture built on instant gratification, our souls long for something deeper: meaningful exchanges, true respect, moments where someone says “you matter,” simply because you are. When we shift from wanting to value, from consuming to committing, we begin cultivating relationships that nourish, rather than explain away what we truly need.
