I AM ENOUGH

Dear Readers, 

Something I have always struggled and mostly likely will always battle with is the love of my appearance and self as a human. It's always been a roller coaster of emotions and it has caused some bumps and bruises. 

Tuesday this week was quite the painful journey. I went to my classes and during my classes and on throughout my day, while I was at work my self worth went down the drain. The thoughts kept going through my head of thinking just some of these things:

 "I am just average and nothing is special or makes me unique...", there's more but the list could just go on forever and so I will not give those thoughts that type of time. 

While I was thinking these things the thought came to me to text a certain friend and reach out... I did and it was most likely the best thing I could have done for myself! We texted for the entirety of about 7 hours and she never made me feel like I was burdening her. 

She let me vent about how I was feeling, things that were stressing me, and even just what I am doing this weekend. We even shared a few jokes back and forth and it was the best thing for me. I guess the way I interrupt our conversation is that it was a soul healing session and it was beautiful and sacred for me. Why? You may ask. Because I got a little more strength throughout that conversation and within the first hour I was able to stop crying after I had been crying for the past 2 hours. 

At one point in our conversation I had given her a big list of all of the things I hate about myself and/or doubt about myself and here is a few words of what she said in response to that: 

"You are GREAT at loving others.

You are GREAT at sharing kindness. 

You are an influence for good. 

You are also a force to be reckoned with."

Those 4 sentences have become a mantra for me and have given me so much hope the past two days and I challenge each of you to use them for yourself as well. Why? Because in times of doubt we MUST be remind ourselves or each other of our value and why we are needed. At least I do. Whether it's through reading a few of my favorite quotes, listening to my Empowering Playlist, or just talking about life with a dear friend. It helps heal/strengthen me and I know it can do the same for you. 

Even though I am weak in knowing my worth or my ability to conquer most things I do know this. 

I know each of you are A-mazing. I know that you are each beautiful. I know that each of you are STRONG. 

Never forget that and never forget about hope. 

You are loved lovelies.
