#youareenough
To those who felt like they were too much and those who felt they were never enough.
To those who cry themselves to sleep and those who forget how to cry.
To those who hurt and hide it and those who wake up wanting to be someone else.
You are beautiful/handsome and strong and amazing and you deserve everything you work so hard for.
You know it too, don't you?
Why else do you cry so hard?
Feel so much?

hey… this is for you, if no one said it today…
you look lovely today; lovely in your own way.
not for comparison, but for your own impression;
an expression that stood strong, through every
battle you’ve already won.
won— and still soft enough to smile through it;
still standing, even when standing was the hardest
thing to do. you’re not something to be measured—
you are the measure; a compliment living in its
own sentence, resting in your own kind of beauty…
and if he never said this to you, let this message
find you well… right on time, just to remind you—
"you already are everything good you’ve been
waiting to hear."

The world is cruel to girls like me,
forever demanding respectability and propriety.
They told me I needed to grow up
but Peter was never scolded for staying forever young.
While they preach of good manners and grace,
Peter dances with pixies in a magical place.
“At all costs, keep your good name!
Never dare to bring us disgrace!”
Yet still, I yearn for Neverland's song,
where innocence and adventure belong.
So call me your lost girl and set me free,
and watch me set fire to your world with glee.

"I'm out of here, he yelled, I'm done!"
And he left; Gone.
Surrounded in the still aftermath, she sat;
Silently acknowledging she'd closed the door before the noise. Enough.

There are mornings of just being vulnerable,
There are afternoons of an imperfect you,
There are evenings of so much worry and fear of everything.
But there is waking up to embracing the solid truth.
YOU ARE BRAVE and WORTH OF LOVE.
You have to wake up to this.

I'm sorry if someone made you feel like it was hard to love you
I'm sorry if you feel like being exactly who you are isn't good enough
I'm sorry if you look in the mirror and hate what you see because someone else said that you weren't beautiful
I'm sorry if you've ever questioned whether your life was worth living because some **** told you the world would be better off without you.
I'm sorry if youre reading this right now and relating to this.
I'm sorry if society's expectations of how a girl should look, what size they should be, and how they should ask, made you think that you were doing it all wrong.
I'm sorry your beautiful soul has ever had to question anything about who you are because the truth is, the world needs more people like YOU.
The truth is they're all wrong.
And I'm sorry for all the years you believed them and all of the tears you cried and nights you asked God why you weren't good enough.
You are.
You always were.
You were never hard to love, you were just loving the wrong people.
I'm sorry they wasted your time.
But its about time you stop hating yourself for not being everyone else's idea of yourself, and start being the version of yourself that you can live with and love.

you are worthy of the deepest love
even the love you cannot give to yourself.

Distance is the key.
The key to happiness.
Distancing yourself from those around you protects you.
Distance allows the mind to rebuild
To replenish,
And gives the soul hope.
Without distance
We allow the brokenness,
the creativity,
The memories,
And major feelings,
To fade away never to be seen again.
Distance opens a broken mind,
a broken heart.
It prepares time for the soul to break down and heal.
Time with distance creates a new soul,
Person,
and even friendships.

Making a mistake doesnt make you a bad person
Having your own opinion doesnt make you mean
Being sad and breaking down doesnt make you weak
Moving on and starting over doesnt mean that you're scared
Taking time for yourself and putting yourself first doesnt mean you're selfish
Feeling lonely doesn't mean you're all alone.
Standing up for yourself and what you believe in doesnt mean you think you're always right
You get to be whoever you want to be, this is your life. You make your choices. You accept yourself.
The people who love you will stand with you and the ones who don't won't be around for long anyways.
You are perfect just the way you are ❤

She is reminded she isn't good enough everyday.
"You can't do by yourself, you need a man," they say.
No one tells her she is beautiful just the way she is.
No one tells her that she belongs to herself, she is not 'his'.
She is taught to hate her body by them.
She is told how unworthy she is by them.
No one tells her about the fierce fire burning in her heart.
That she too could be someone's glowing light in the dark.
No, she is only told how she needs to change.
She is overlooked and underappreciated at every stage.
So she just writes her story down.
As a reminder of who she was before she let her real self drown.

I get lost fighting
Against the current
Of these thoughts
Screaming
“Worthless”
And all I can do
Is whisper
“Enough”

In the liquid of these eyes
Dreams don't drown
In the turbulence of the wind
Or the raging storms
Stars don't shake or fall
The scars on that beneath your breast
Have chiseled you to the amazing piece that you now are
Believe me, my darling
Time has a story to tell you
Listen with patience
Look closely
You're still alive
You still exist
There's still life in your every breath
Look closely into the ashes
There's still a flicker of an ember
Blow it and light it up
Even if you've lost so many times
You haven't forgotten how to fight
Look closely honey
Even on headstrong roads
Your chaffed feet still remember how to walk
Even with ironclad rules and norms
Your heart is still a rebel
Be You! Be You!!
You can do it!
You are enough
You are amazing
You will succeed
So, Shine that light

She was never enough for you.
Judgment from the day she learned that she is a human being.
The day she knew what a daughter was supposed to be.
The day she knew that words had meaning.
That the words can create feelings inside of her.
By you, she was never enough for you.
Thrown by words that torn an innocent heart into pieces.
Before the heart was even ready to mature and love another beside her own mother.
Your words thrown to the corner that she never felt she wasn't enough.
That love from you will never be felt inside of her.
So she learned to live afar from.
To not come near you.
That any bond she creates with you will be burn down from your lips.
As each action she tried to earn your love.
But it wasn't enough.
Walls were built around her heart.
Then she learned what is love from another.
But still grow afar from you
because she wasn't enough.
She prove and prove
But the judgements and names always came through your lips.
When will she be enough for you?
When she's dead?
When she pushed you to the curb and have her own life?

When it doesn't sit right,
and you can't help but fidget,
and the feeling only gnaws.
Cut yourself free.
Slice through the vines that hold you.
Use the fire within,
to burn what's outside of you.
When you have to choose,
between pain and hurt and you.
Always,
choose,
you.

You're in a never ending cycle of telling yourself you are never quite good enough, asking "What am I lacking?" What a trick you play on yourself, and it seems you have lost yourself while you question your worth.
Come to me, let me help build you up. Feel me right here as I put your insecurities to sleep. Let me remind you even at your worst that you will always be enough, remind you that you are deserving, and that you are worthy, until you believe it for yourself.

going to bed happy
for the first time
in a long time
a smile
on my face
in bed with
an empty
space next to me
going to be happy
