"Be Happy”
“Love Yourself”
It’s not that easy.
It's actually harder than it sounds.
It's harder than it sounds to believe that you are something special. Especially when the one you love doesn't love you back. Or when your older sibling creates an unbearable shadow you have to live and compete with. Or if your grades are too low to get you honor roll.
Honestly, there are lot of obstacles in life that can make someone believe that he or she is not good enough. Let me be the first to say that I get it. Like so many others, I do not believe that I am good enough. Good enough for happiness. Good enough for love. Good enough or worthy of anything positive. I understand that feeling all too well. And you are not alone.
Society has made life all about numbers. The number on the scale. The number of your GPA. The number of times you had sex. In reality, none of that matters. None of that changes the inner person and it does not make or break a person’s worth.
I know it’s easier to see the beauty in others, but I don’t know why. What makes one person more deserving than you? Nothing. We are all human and we are all flawed in one way or another, so comparing yourself to others isn’t necessary.
Positivity in someone else’s life does not dull your shine. You are doing your thing all on your own, and your pretty damn good at it.
I promise you: you are good enough. You might not hear it as much as you deserve to, but it's true. You are good enough. And if you don’t feel good enough for yourself just yet, let me tell you, you are more than good enough for me, and you are perfect enough for this world.
