“In case nobody told you today:
You are beautiful, you are loved, you are needed, you are strong,
You are enough.”
In our life, there comes certain moments when you feel defeated, broken, alone, unloved, and even scared, I want you to remember those moments and say the phrase, “You are enough.”
But only saying these won’t help you, you truly need to believe these lines, and once every day, say it like a mantra.
If you don’t know what that means, then let me tell you, the phrase “You are enough” means that you are exactly who you were supposed to be. With all the flaws, complexities, good qualities, and bad ones, everything mixed together makes who you are, and that’s enough.
You don’t have to be something that you are not and never going to be, so trying is pointless. There is nothing to prove to anyone, and you are worthy of all that is good happening to you at this point in your life.
