To Her,
Sometimes I wonder if we ever have enough. What is enough? I have asked myself a thousand times over and over and no matter how much we think enough is, we want more. By wanting more we lose more, we lose what was really enough. Having too much of anything is not worth it, we become greedy and selfish. We focus more on the how much then on the sentiment or the value of having just enough. We feed ourselves on envy and are prey to the wants and likes of others. Always wanting what someone has or does, comparing ourselves to others. Have you paused the think for a moment of that other person, did they struggle to get where they are, what it took them the gain what they have. Do you really think you would be any better of if you had what they had or would you see the scars and tears that cost them everything they had. It can be so easy to judge and assume from the outside, but from the inside out, sometimes it is more frightening and the eyes want to see. Stop trying to be who you are not, just be you. Love yourself more, endulge in you more. Invest in YOU. Trust your instincts, trust your feelings. Just do not be blinded by them. You are a totally different person on social media then you really are, have you gained more than you have lost being like that? At the end of the day does a virtual world that does not know you matter more than the real world and if so, for how long? A few moments and then you are forgotten again. Next post, next tweet next selfie on ig. Stop settling for less than you deserve and learn when enough is enough without being selfish, without envying or hating others for your own shortcomings. Just for once, breath and be thankful that it wasn't worse than it was. Be thankful that at the end, you survived and grew stronger and braver. Be thankful for the courage you have to face each day and be able to say I made it today.
