When you don't feel like enough, please take a deep breath.
When you don't feel like enough, understand it isn't your job to act tough.
When you feel sub-par, and like you do nothing right, let it go.
Let go of everything and anything that makes you feel less than.
When it feels like life keeps knocking you down, keep getting back up. Just by doing that, you're proving you're more than enough.
When you don't feel like enough, it's hard to eat, because tears muddle your appetite;
When life feels like too much, it's so easy to give up.
Sometimes, when you've been knocked on your ass, it feels like the right time to take a nap.
Ya know, I'm a firm believer in doing the best with what you've got. So, when something is hard, and I am just not getting it, I sometimes take my 'Que' and let it go.
I give one thing up, and it's really easy to feel like a quitter. I mean, maybe I am. I quit stuff. It happens. I don't know if that makes me a quitter, though.
I would rather let go of something that isn't for me, than let myself go in that same thing.
It took me a really, really long time to figure that out.
It's hard to decipher giving up and letting go. Sometimes, it's the same thing. Sometimes, that's all there is left to do.
That's OK.
I know it doesn't feel OK. I understand – but in my opinion, that just proves your character.
Life is hard.
I know I say that a lot, and I know others have it worse than me – but don't let anyone tell you that your struggles aren't real, just because they see the public picture you paint.
They don't have a clue what goes on behind closed doors or in your mind.
So, when you get knocked down, and it feels like the best time to take a nap, take one. If you feel like that's the time to get back up, do it.
I know everyone and their momma has an opinion on what you do, but if you need to take a moment, and fall apart –do it.
When you don't feel like enough, people will think you're the same. Because on the outside, you probably are. You probably try and hide it. They don't, and won't, know what you don't tell them. If you need to call a friend, or fall apart in secret, do it. Do what you have to do.
There is no formula for feelings.
There is no right way to feel 'not good enough,' but sometimes, you can feel that way. Please don't ignore it. You don't have to announce it to the world, but don't let those feelings go unnoticed. Take a bubble bath, write a poem – do what you have to do to refill.
If you can't refill on your own, get help. Just don't get lost in that feeling.
