To The Girl Who Doesn't Think She's Enough

You feel like you wear your mistakes on your forehead and that your accomplishments are packed away in a box.

Whether it was a boy, family, friends, or (God forbid) yourself, there is a reason you opened this article. You don't think you are "enough." You are enough.

Take a look in the mirror at the girl that you are. You are you, and there is nothing more beautiful than that. No one else has the opportunity to live the exact same life as you. You may not see your life as an "opportunity," hell you might despise it, but it is the most unique thing about you. Through the ups and downs, you have been there for yourself. Giving yourself mental pep-talks has probably become a routine part of your day. You are you, and you are your best friend.

You are not your past. People may treat you certain ways because of how you have been in the past. You feel like you wear your mistakes on your forehead, and that your accomplishments are packed away in a box. Surround yourself with people who won't judge you by your past, but with people who will love you for what you accomplish in the future.

As cliche as it sounds, treat yourself. Spend time with yourself. Like I said, you are your own best friend. Spend time with yourself. Go to the gym by yourself, take long drives by yourself, even treat yourself to ice cream or pizza every now and again. If you don't love yourself, your feelings toward others won't be as genuine as they could be. Allow yourself to love you so others can love you too. You deserve it.

Thousands of girls feel like they aren't enough. You are not alone. Look in the mirror, love what you see, and spend the rest of your life knowing your self-worth — and never letting people bring that down.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
