You Are ENOUGH.

A note to the inner voice that wants to dim your light when you deserve to SHINE.

9
You Are ENOUGH.

To the person reading this, you are ENOUGH.

That brilliant mind of yours spins with ideas that excite every fiber within you. Yet that voice in your head says, "Don't do it, they won't like it" or "that's dumb."

Do it anyway. Be a rebel and show your mind whose boss.

After all, the only person worth impressing is YOU.

To the person who pulls all-nighters, works their ass off, and continues to grind day after day. Stop telling yourself that your lazy or unworthy when you take a day off to relax.

Take that day and run with it.

Do whatever feels right and know you deserve downtime.

When you feel small or like the world is caving in on you, know that you are not alone. From time to time, we all feel like we don't matter or life is too much for us to handle.

Trust your intuition in these times and know that you are ENOUGH.

To the person reading this that worries about what other people think about them, don't.

The older I get, the more I realize that life is too short to care about other people's opinions.

If it makes you happy, do it.

If it sets your soul on fire, go for it.

If you crave it, go taste it.

Brush off the haters and send them compassion. They only wish they could be as free as you are. Shine like the diamond you are, sweet thing.

Lastly, stop comparing your life to that of others. Nothing good ever came out of the comparison game.

You are bright, abundant, and beautiful exactly the way you were made.

How can you compare someones year five to your day one? It's toxic, a waste of time and a waste of your energy.

So go LIVE, EXPERIENCE, FALL, LEARN, and BE YOUR BAD SELF.

Don't worry about what the world thinks, continue to create a world where you thrive and you leave your positive mark on this world.

Everything you are and will ever be is ENOUGH.

Repeat after me, I AM ENOUGH.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
