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"
Pxleyes

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
