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.

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. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
