You are enough.

This is the year you start to believe this.

This is the year where you start to love yourself as much as you love the beach.

No matter the circumstances and conditions you accept the beauty of it all in the same way you can accept yourself.

The waves could be ferociously crashing and the sky could be sobbing and yet you still admire it just as much as you do on a hot summer night.

No matter the emotions you feel inside, you can still accept yourself.

The sunset and sunrise are both spectacular and flood you with childlike excitement and admiration.

No matter the time of day, you can still accept yourself.

In the same way that broken shells on the beach are enough to take home to show off to Sean, you are enough.

No matter how incomplete and shattered inside, you can still accept yourself.

In the same way that the tide pulls back against the shore it leaves stretch mark like cuts into sand that admire because it’s the pull of the gravity from the moon that is able to create such cyclical art every day.

No matter what how gravity impacts your body and how cycle of the moon impacts your range of emotions, you can still accept yourself.

This will be the year you accept yourself in the same way you accept the beach no matter the time of day, weather, season, or look.

It’s always going to be a beach and you are always going to be you and both will always be enough.
