Today I am writing this piece for you, the girl who has been told that she is not good enough, by whoever it may be. I want to start off by saying, I am sorry that anyone has ever told you that you are not enough in this world because guess what? YOU ARE! You are more than enough because you add something to the world that no one else can.
Unfortunately, I have too been in your shoes before, and I know the feeling sucks-- plain and simple. You, somehow, let what one person thinks of you ruin your entire day. Trust me, I've been there too many times to count. However, today, I want to write this to help you snap out of that mindset and hopefully help you begin believing that YOU ARE ENOUGH. No one should ever have that power over you to tell you otherwise.
First of all, me simply telling you that you are good enough for this world is not going to cure you all by itself and change your mindset. I wish it would, but unfortunately, my words can only do so much. I also want to send you a virtual hug right now because hugs make the world a better place and you deserve one.
However, in order for you to truly know that you are a good person in our society and as a whole, you have to BELIEVE it 110%. Your friends, family, or even random strangers may tell you that you are a good person and have an amazing soul, but that means nothing if you do not feel the same way.
Sometimes, I will have those random days where I don't feel good enough as a person, friend, or even daughter, but I have to remember that I am the only one who has control of my thoughts. So this is where my words of wisdom come in; when you catch yourself starting to think negatively about yourself, recognize it and change your mindset as soon as you feel it.
Try to focus on the things that you love about yourself instead of tricking your mind into thinking you still aren't good enough by focusing on the negative, because like I said, you are plenty good enough, love.
So, to the girl reading this right now who has been told she is not good enough at one point or another, I hope you take something from this. I know, it may not be much, but I just want you to know that you are not alone. I bet that almost every girl out there has felt this way before, and guess what, they overcame it because they are still living their lives and are stronger because of it.
Whoever told you that you were not good enough, or made you feel that way, does not deserve a place in your life either. You are a special, one-of-a-kind, beautiful soul that deserves to be treated kindly. The person/people who made you feel less than what you are are actually the ones who are not good enough for you! Always remember that and always stay true to yourself.
