To The Person Who Is Struggling: You Are Enough

momastery blog

Dear wonderful human,

I know life is hard. I know sometimes you feel like you cannot make it through this day, this week, and this year. You feel like you’re a failure, and that you cannot do anything right. You do not know what your purpose here on this earth is. These thoughts of unworthiness are coming from the darkness. The darkness is trying to convince you that you are not enough, that you can never be enough. It is trying to convince you that you can never succeed.

However, I am here to tell you that the darkness is wrong, completely and utterly wrong. You are one of the strongest people I know. You are worth more than you can imagine. You are not a failure. Life is hard, and you are doing a great job. You CAN do this. You are loved, and I believe in you.

Whenever the darkness tries to tell you these lies, think about how much good you have done in the world, and if you cannot think of anything, think about this: I believe in you. You are not a failure, because you have not given up. You are strong. You are beautiful. You are wonderful. Tell the darkness that it can just shut up because you're done listening to its lies.

Sincerely,

Another wonderful human

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
