To the girl who isn't enough

To the girl who is never enough,

Let me start this out by saying a cliché, you are enough. No matter what anyone has done or told you, you will always be enough. God did not create us to be perfect. He created us to all be different yet equal.

You will always be enough to the ones who truly love and care for you. This includes your parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and significant other. To these people, you are enough. You’re not the perfect daughter, sister, friend, or girlfriend. But honestly, who gives a damn if you’re trying your hardest and being true to yourself?

Onto how we look and how others see us. So what if you're not the perfect size two with the right assets. The way we look shouldn't be something we judge our self worth on. This "perfect" image that society has created for us is all wrong, because what might look beautiful and "perfect" to one person isn't what looks beautiful and "perfect" to another person. Being true to yourself and doing what makes you happy and healthy is what makes you enough.

You will always be enough for God and his love. There is nothing absolutely nothing that can take God’s love away from you. Pick up your bible, say a prayer, rejoice in this word that you are good enough. 1 Peter 2:9 says, “But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God's very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.” Let this verse lead you to know that you are a child of the King of kings and His to use to show the world His love. I cannot think of a more worthy and useful person in this world.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time.
