Sometimes life makes you feel like you’re less than dirt. Not getting asked to a dance; not liking what you see in the mirror; not getting invited to something; not getting a billion likes on your picture; not getting the grade you wanted on a test; not doing well in your sport; not making a play; these all scream NOT,
I am NOT… pretty enough. nice enough smart enough athletic enough creative enough different enough happy enough mysterious enough fun enough good enough. I am here to enlighten you on the cold-hard truth. You may not want to hear; hey, you may not even believe it. But let me tell you, everything I'm saying is the actual factual truth and I whole heartedly believe it. You are enough. You are more than one bad day. You are more than the mirror, a test score, a game score, a dance ask, a significant other, an invitation, a part in a play, likes on a picture, a piece of art. You are more than the labels you give yourself: stupid, ugly, etc. You are more than your past. You are more than your mistakes. You are more than your imperfections. You are more than your false perceptions of yourself. You are enough. You are wanted. You are loved. And most of all you are the best you there is or ever will be. Don't let the lies we so often believe alter your perception of yourself. Because days will be rough. You may cry some tears, let out some screams, make some poor choices, but this does not determine your worth. You deserve love not only from others, but from yourself. Never forget how priceless and one of a kind you truly are. So, smile because I love seeing you as happy as you deserve to be!!!

If everyone thought like this, no one would try and improve themselves

That's a great point! Sometimes failure is a motivator, but this was written primarily for those who seem to feel constantly down on themselves and need a reminder of how much they are really worth.
