from a young age i can remember feeling less than enough. my father always pounded it into my head that i wasn't good enough and told me i needed to be more like my sister. i could never live up to her. i still can't. but what i've come to realize is that i don't want to be like her. i don't want to be the person that leaves. the one who abandons in a time of need. i want to love unconditionally. i want to be a person whom others can rely on. i have struggled all of my life with not being adequate enough. not living up to other's standards. but i'm starting to realize, i am not the one who needs to fix myself. god made me who i am, and instead of hiding and trying to strive for approval, i should be embracing this beautiful life.
