Girl, You Are More Than Enough

"You are loved." "You are enough!"

Girl, You Are More Than Enough

Being a girl in today's society can be tough.

There are so many things out there that can make us feel like we are "less than".

We see the girls on Instagram that seem to have it all together..

They have the perfect body, their makeup is always "on point", they have that sweet little boyfriend that they always post about, they work out every day, and the list could go on and on.

We continuously compare ourselves to others. Numerous times a day.

I get it. I do it too!

But.. those things don't matter!

Sure, it's good to be in shape and have a decent body. Sure, it's cool to have nice makeup. Sure, it's cute to have a little boyfriend.

There is so much more to life than those things.

Your body is going to age. Makeup trends will change. And you probably won't be true lovin' with that boy for the rest of your life.

We often times see these things and start to shame ourselves. That is when it becomes a problem. Actually, no. Comparing ourselves to others period isn't a good idea at all.

God created you the way that you are for a reason.

He thought out every single detail of your being.

He loves you! So so much.

You are enough, girl!

That is something that I hold dear to my heart.

I often times catch myself being too hard on myself and comparing myself to others or believing the lies that the enemy throws my way..

That is when I stop and say to myself, "Summer..you are enough!"

And you.. whoever you may be.

You are enough.

You are loved. You have a purpose.

Hold your head up high.

The God that created the mountains, the birds in the sky, the very ground that we walk on every day.. thought the world needed a you!

That is awesome!

I really can't say it enough..

Like, I want to shout it from the rooftops that you are enough!

Regardless of what some punk says about you. Regardless of what those other girls say about you. Regardless of what satan tries to get you to believe. You are enough!

You are loved so so much by God. A God that sent His only Son to die on the cross for your sins, so that you could be forgiven!

So the next time that you find yourself comparing yourself to others, or being tough on yourself and the way that you look..remind yourself that you are loved and you are enough!

I promise you that when you begin to remind yourself of that daily it will make a difference. You will start feeling better about yourself. So I encourage you to try it!

Simply say.. "_________, you are enough!"

With much love,

Summer

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.
