Everyone thinks about the day that they will find the one that they'll settle down with. For some, that someone comes along sooner than others do. However, some kiss a few toads before they find their prince/princess. In this process, you really figure out what you do or do not want in a relationship and even what you absolutely cannot tolerate, but you can't change a person for what you want. You also have to realize that you, yourself, are enough for someone. You can't change you to please anyone in this world.

Before you start searching for someone else to spend your days with, my advice to you is to really think about yourself first. You have to love yourself and know that YOU ARE ENOUGH before you can expect someone else to love you too. It's not an easy thing to do, because I'm still working on this at 21 years old. Self love is the hardest love, but it's the most rewarding. This world is a mean place, and if you're ever doing better than someone else or have something that someone else wants, they'll tear you down just so you won't be happy with your life and who you are.

You have to always keep in mind that people do not have the same heart that you do, and that's okay. You have to move on with your life and prove to yourself, and I'll say it again, THAT YOU ARE ENOUGH. Not everybody will love you like you want to be loved, will respect you like you want to be respected nor will they treat you how you may treat them, but that's life. Your journey in life does not stop just because someone else does not see your worth. You deserve more than what some crappy relationship or friendship has to offer, you deserve more than being treated like dirt by your employer, you just all around deserve more.

Getting to this point of knowing that you're enough and deserve more than what you may be getting is not an easy task. It will be one of the hardest things you will ever do, but it's worth it. In this process, you will have to walk away from people and places, and you'll even burn some bridges at the same time. But I will promise you right now, it will all be okay. You are loved and prayed for by so many who truly care for you and see your worth. They KNOW YOU ARE ENOUGH, and those are the people that count in life. So, throw your hands up to those that do not contribute to your life in a positive way and get rid of those who pull you down, and surround yourself with those who do not. Again, it won't be easy, but it will be worth it! Remember, in any situation, that you are enough! Someone, somewhere is out there praying for God to bring you across their path, and odds are that they are in the same situation as you. You can overcome anything that you set your mind to, and it'll be a challenge, but you will get through it. You are strong enough, and all in all YOU ARE ENOUGH.
