"Don'T LeT Me GeT Me"

Have you ever struggled with feeling like you are worthy of something? 

When I (insert blank here), I'll be good enough. Then he'll like me. Then, I'll be happy.

I fall into this mindset all the time. I think some of it stems from my childhood and how I was raised to be the best I could possibly be; failure was not an option. It was simply not a journey I wanted to take. It meant I didn't try hard enough... give enough... produce results. 

Fast forward to this year... When I get in the best shape of my life, I'll put myself out there. I'll have some confidence in myself. I'll try online dating. I'll open myself up to rejection. I'll be good enough then...

I talk to people that surround me and all I really want to hear from them is that I am enough. That my being me is worthy of attention... deserving of love... important.

I worry I may never get there. It's definitely a journey. It's a good thing I'm on a roller coaster that only goes up! 

Each day, I'll try to remind myself that I am worthy of someone else's love. I will strive to shake myself of the discouragement that doubt and lack of experience can bring.

I will breathe. I will smile. I will live.
