You Are Good Enough

I am enough and so are you.

You Are Good Enough
https://weheartit.com/entry/332394458?context_query=good+enough&context_type=search

Whatever you aspire to be, and whatever you strive to be, you are good enough to achieve it. As someone who has been told relentlessly that I am just short of good enough, I am here to say enough is enough.

You are good enough, in fact you are more than enough. You may not feel as though you are, but you are.

Regardless of what you think, you are smart enough, pretty enough, talented enough, strong enough, and so much more.

Throughout the last few years, college has taught me that no matter what I go through, I will never feel good enough for others if I do not feel good about myself. As someone who feels annoying, overbearing, and sensitive, I have to constantly remind myself that I am not.

You should feel good enough for you, and that is all that matters. Living your life to the fullest, living happily, these are all things that make you good enough for yourself.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People coming in and out of your life are a part of your path. Every situation is a learning experience. We cannot control everything that goes on, but no one can. You are good enough; better than you could ever believe.

We tend to focus on the negatives rather than the positives. We pick out our flaws no matter how small. Often times, we are too critical of ourselves. We need to put ourselves in a better light. We need to dissolve our insecurities because they are what makes us look at ourselves differently.

After years of others knocking me down, it seems almost impossible not to say hurtful things to myself.

Although this may be the case, I am still trying to improve my mindset. I'm going to stop caring what others think of me and live my life for me. All of you should do the same because life is too short to be focused on everyone else's perception of you.

The only person's opinion about you that should matter is your opinion of you.

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.
