Hellllllo. Hi. Hey. HEY THERE.
The world does a really good job of making us feel inadequate.
Like, in every single way.
It’s kind of… impressive… How inadequate the world makes us feel.
Like we’re not doing enough.
Like we’re not cool enough.
Like we’re not a good enough friend.
Like we could always be doing more. And more. And more
Like we lack.
Like we are lacking in something.
But I just wanna take this little moment to remind you…
(and yes, I know this is cheesy,
but buckle up baby.
You’re getting cheese from me today.
Sorrrrrrrry.)
I want to remind you that
YOU ARE ENOUGH.
YOU ARE ENOUGH JUST AS YOU ARE. RIGHT NOW. IN THIS MOMENT.
You are enough.
You are enough.
If I say it enough times, will you start to feel it?
LOLLLLL.
I MEAN IT!
And I don’t even need to know your exact situation to know that you matter.
Mattering does not discriminate.
You don’t have to do anything spectacular to matter.
You don’t have to be anything amazing to matter.
You literally do not have to do anything to deserve your “enoughness.”
Just by existing.
Just by being here.
Just by being alive.
You have earned your badge of enoughness.
Now…
There will be people who try to make you doubt that.
And systems that are literally designed to make you feel like you’re lacking.
But those people? And those systems?
They’re wrong.
I promise. They’re so wrong.
You matter on this earth.
And you don’t have to prove yourself to matter.
You just… do.
I always come back to this quote by Elizabeth Gilbert (shout out)
I think about it all the time, it goes something like
“You are not a Fortune 500 company.
You do not have to show increasing profits.
You just get to be here.
You don’t have to keep pushing yourself to higher and higher standards to be worthy.
You just get to exist.
You belong here,
And you are loved on this earth.”
And yes… it may be cheese.
But it’s the truth.
It’s the deepest, BIGGEST truth:
You matter.
Your thoughts matter.
Your existence matters.
Your wants, your wishes, your dreams…THEY MATTER.
It’s easy to forget that.
But what makes you lovable isn’t anything you’ve earned.
It’s not your achievements.
It’s not your stuff.
It’s just innately you.
YOU HAVE WORTH
YOU HAVE VALUE
YOU ARE IMPORTANT ON THIS EARTH!
AND DON’T YOU FORGET IT!
And that’s all I’ll say about that!
Happy friiiiiiiday, blob OUT.
Byyyyyye!
