You are Enough

In a world where you can be anything you want, I hope that you realize that whatever you choose to become or whatever the world allows you to become…you are enough.

Society has created benchmarks where we can check in to see how are we are measuring up.

Do you have the right job title? The right jeans size? The right zip code? The right logo on our makeup?

Guess what? You do.

Because you are enough exactly as you are.

Scratch that.

You are amazing.

You are amazing when you chat with your friend until she no longer feels lonely.

You are amazing when your co-worker makes a mistake and you tell them that you’ve done the same thing…more than once.

You are amazing when you cook a three course meal, grilled cheese sandwiches, or order out because you are just so tired.

You are amazing in your stretchy pants that are two sizes bigger than they were last year.

You are amazing when you sing loudly and imperfectly to Bohemian Rhapsody.

You are amazing when you make someone laugh, when they feel like they will never stop crying.

You are amazing when you drink green juice for breakfast, eat Cool Ranch Doritos for lunch, or live on coffee…just coffee.

You are amazing when you break the rules…because life is more fun that way.

You are amazing when you listen, really listen.

You are amazing when you do nerdy things, creative things, or athletic things.

You are amazing because of who you are.

No labels. No measuring sticks. No keeping up with the Kardashians.

Just you. Amazing, wonderful, you.

You. Are. Enough.
