I think we've all been there. Whether it's in a relationship, school grades, friends, family, anything. However, we all feel it most when we are get into a relationship with someone and feel we have to look like a queen all the time or act as if we were raised by a king. We all get caught up in this world where we are told we have be the smartest person in the room and be able to accomplish the impossible.

I am here to tell you, that you are good enough. You will always be good enough and anyone who tells you you aren't, does not have a place in your life. You don't need ten pounds of makeup to look pretty. You don't need the most expensive clothing to show of your figure or the tallest heels to flash your calves. Or even a full-ride scholarship to the best college and make the most money. Yes, all of these sound great and incredible, but you do not need them to feel "good enough" or to get the most amazing guy in the world.

You don't ever need the approval from a man of what you can wear, where you can work, or how smart you have to be. You determine your worth, not someone else. You are the one that picks yourself up off of the shower floor when your heart is breaking, the one who continues to push through all the problems, and continues to shape who you are each day. No one else can do that, but you. You live with yourself forever, (Oh, really? How obvious. I know, just keep with me.) and you will forever be the person that sees yourself at your worst, sees yourself at your best, and will overcome every bad obstacle in the road and rise with every good. You don't ever have to wait for someone to tell you your worth because you will always be an incredible gift in this world. No matter what anyone says.

You are GOOD enough, SMART enough, BEAUTIFUL enough, and STRONG enough. Believe it and never let insecurity run your life. You owe yourself the love that you so freely give to other people. Beauty isn't about having a pretty face. It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and most importantly, a beautiful soul. Stop trying to be someone else's definition of beautiful and start being your own.

The best advice I have ever been given is this: "The quickest way to acquire self-confidence is to do exactly what you are afraid to do." Confidence is not "They will like me". Confidence is "I'll be fine if they don't".

Just be yourself. Let people see the real, imperfect, flawed, quirky, weird, beautiful, magical person that you are. You are enough. Let me repeat that so it goes through.

You. Are. Enough.
