If you ever feel unloved... I have a suggestion.
So this may sound ridiculous and a little too optimistic but, have you ever tried to give people the benefit of the doubt, even when you didn't want to? You have to be a little creative, think of any possible way their negative actions could have been well intended. I'm not suggesting you assume this of everyone's actions, constantly. In fact what I'm suggesting isn't exactly the same as the point I've just presented. What I'm suggesting, is that you stop and think about what people do for you. Ask yourself "did they have to do that?" and a lot of times, the answer is no. Now it may be a simple thing, it may even be something that should just be common courtesy, but do you realize that anytime someone does something they don't have to do for you they are probably thinking more of you than they are of themselves. Anytime they say something they don't have to say they are probably being sincere and saying it because they love you! Now I know maybe I'm a bit of an extremist in my thinking this way. Maybe every little action isn't other people's way of showing they love me. But what if we all stopped and noticed those little things that people do that they don't have to do. I think we'd all realize that we aren't as unnoticed, unappreciated, un-cared for and unloved as we occasionally talk ourselves into believing.
Call me a sappy, cheesy girl, you can even go so far as to call me a hopeless romantic, because we all know it's true. I am. But when I started looking for those little things, I was almost brought to tears by the love I felt all around me.
The moral of the story? Sometimes believing the best of people is believing the truth. Sometimes counting all the little things is what makes you smile the most. And sometimes we should be feeling all kinds of love that we don't even notice.
Keep that in mind. And remember that you are never ever alone. If you ever feel unloved, hit your knees and pray. Ask your Heavenly Father if He loves you. He will answer you. And it will be a "yes" every time. No maybes. He loves us all. Always.

Oh, and P.S. I LOVE YOU. That's why I wrote this for you.
Remember to smile, because you are a child of God.
