To the girl who isn't enough

A letter to the girl who thinks she isn't enough.

To the girl who isn't enough

To the girl who is never enough,

Let me start this out by saying a cliché, you are enough. No matter what anyone has done or told you, you will always be enough. God did not create us to be perfect. He created us to all be different yet equal.

You will always be enough to the ones who truly love and care for you. This includes your parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and significant other. To these people, you are enough. You’re not the perfect daughter, sister, friend, or girlfriend. But honestly, who gives a damn if you’re trying your hardest and being true to yourself?

Onto how we look and how others see us. So what if you're not the perfect size two with the right assets. The way we look shouldn't be something we judge our self worth on. This "perfect" image that society has created for us is all wrong, because what might look beautiful and "perfect" to one person isn't what looks beautiful and "perfect" to another person. Being true to yourself and doing what makes you happy and healthy is what makes you enough.

You will always be enough for God and his love. There is nothing absolutely nothing that can take God’s love away from you. Pick up your bible, say a prayer, rejoice in this word that you are good enough. 1 Peter 2:9 says, “But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God's very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.” Let this verse lead you to know that you are a child of the King of kings and His to use to show the world His love. I cannot think of a more worthy and useful person in this world.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
