Please keep in mind this story can be very overwhelming for some, and few may get triggered. If you are ever going through something feel free to message me, I'm always up for a chat.

If I was to have 1000+ followers would I then be good enough?

If I had what was considered the "perfect body", would then I be good enough?

If I was to keep my mouth shut and not speak up, would I then be good enough?

If I was to lose weight would I then be good enough?

If I was to wear more make up would I then be good enough?

If I changed my clothes just to look more like the other girls, would I then be good enough?

If I was to have perfect clear skin, would I then be good enough?

If I was to do something rebellious, would I then be good enough?

If I was to be pushed by peer pressure, would I then be good enough?

If I was to go to parties every weekend, would I then be good enough?

If I was to give up everything I loved and was passionate about just to not seem different, would I then be good enough?

If I was to completely change my entire identity thus becoming like every cliche teenager in this forsaken mistake of world, would I then be good enough?

Stop, don't answer that.

Because the truth is, I will never  be truly good enough. Scratch that, I already am good enough.

I'm just not good enough for you, and its time to come to terms that I never will be.

Because no matter how many times I change myself or attempt to become whom I believe you wish me to be, I will always been seen as the target. Either I'm not good enough because I'm different or I'm not good enough because I try too hard, so screw the entire system. 

Because I could care less anymore, over the past two years I've struggled and I've dealt with the pain and self hate that I have always felt. But starting from today and every day onwards, its not you who I look for acceptance from, its myself because thats all that truly matters.
