An Open Letter To The One Who "Isn't Enough"

You are perfectly imperfect and worthy of all earthly things

An Open Letter To The One Who "Isn't Enough"

I want to let you in on a little secret. You know those voices inside your head? They’re lying to you.

No matter how many mistakes you make along the way, no matter how worthless you may feel; you are always enough. We all have troubles, we all have days when we want it all to be over, we all have our ups and downs but it’s how we deal with them that define who we are. How WE deal with them not our inner voices.

I see that beautiful smile on your face but I know it’s not real. I know the difference because I’ve been there before. I know what it’s like to feel completely useless yet feel the need to keep it all in and put on a brave face. The feeling of being obligated to always stay so strong and stand tall. I want you to know something: your tears do not define you and they do not mean you are weak.

In life there will always be many toxic people but you can’t see them until you are able to be one with yourself and find your true inner happiness. One day you will realize that you are worth so much more than them and you shouldn’t have to fight for their acceptance. I know it hurts to let go but sometimes it hurts more to keep holding on. One day the force will drag you under but if you let go you will finally realize your true inner worth.

Whether you are part of the popular clique, the dorks, the jocks, or the one who doesn’t belong. Your worth surpasses all stereotypes. You are worth so much more than the standardized test scores, more than the number on the scale, more than the cost of the clothes on your body or the shoes on your feet. You are worth more than your insecurities and all your fears. You are worth more than anything in this world. You are a diamond whether you love yourself or you can’t stand to look yourself in the mirror.

No matter who you think you are, you are worthy of love and happiness. The love and happiness that will set you free. The kind that’ll make you realize that you can change the world because you are strong, you are powerful, you are beautiful and you are perfect inside and out.

You will never be too much and you will always be enough. You are perfectly imperfect and worthy of all earthly things. Let it out, your tears are not a sign of weakness. Let it be, things will get better. One day you will let out a smile and I will see it in your eyes that you realized that you are worth more than anything in this world and that you are always enough.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. 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.

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.
