Because there is no ideal you must measure up to for the people who really love and value you.

What does it mean to be enough?
Enough love and tenderness?
Allef Vinicius
Enough happiness and wildness and maturity and grace?
And will we ever be the perfect amount of this undefined, immeasurable thing?
But the truth is, we will never be enough.
Because one person will want us to be softer, the next will value our strength.
One lover will ask that we quiet down; another will tell us to raise our voice.
If we let our self-worth and self-love depend upon others, well never be enough.
Allef Vinicius
Because enough in someone elses eyes is something you cannot measure, nor understand.
You will never be enough.
Because you are imperfect.
And instead of bowing your head in shame, embrace this with a smile.
Because who you are is unique and varied.
You arent a robot, made with precision and always moving with the same calculated movements.
You arent one-dimensional, always reacting the same to every situation.
You are a humanwith imperfections and flaws and inconsistencies and emotions and complexities.
You are too much.
You are a sprinkle of this and a pinch of that.
You are messy, yet constructed with care by your creator.
You are not enough by the silly, undefined standards of this world.
But you will forever be more than enough in the eyes of God.
So hey stop trying to measure yourself to someone else.
Stop wishing you could be someone else, or changing who you really are for love.
(Because thats not love, just so you know).
You are not going to be enough of whatever this world wants you to be.
You have been, and always will be enough for yourself and for God.
And anyone who doesnt see that is not worthy of you.
