You Are More Than Enough

And don't believe you're less.

You Are More Than Enough
Sarah Gerard

Not pretty enough. Not smart enough. Not good enough. Not athletic enough. These are a few lies that many people grow up believing. Whether you used to play a sport simply for fun, but stopped because you were told you weren't good enough or maybe believed you weren't smart enough because you didn't get into your dream school, don't let these lies keep you from living a life you love.

Comparison is such an easy trap to get stuck in and feed into, but it leaves you feeling inadequate or not _____ enough as someone else. People often say, "stop worrying about what others think." But it's easier said than done. It isn't something a person can just snap their fingers and get over.

This is for everyone out there who feels they are not good enough. This is someone reaching out to tell you that you are enough. 100 times enough. You are capable of doing anything plus more that you set your mind to. You are capable of love. You are worth more than you know and you are deeply loved.

People on this earth will let us down. They will upset us, disappoint us, or leave us feeling neglected. This is why it is so important that we love ourselves. Believe in yourself and your worth. Not only this, but also believe that there is a God who loves you so deeply you can't even fully comprehend it. A God who created the earth, all of the people, animals, mountains, and stars, yet still, knows every detail about you and loves you endlessly.

Rather than allowing friends or family define your worth, remind yourself that you are in charge of your worth and you have so much worth in God. People will leave you feeling left out or not good enough, but God reminds us that we are enough.


You are more than 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.
