"It's quite the phenomenon. This idea that we aren't enough. Not strong enough, not smart enough, brave enough, or even straight enough for that matter. Ironically enough, this single, layered complex easily derails a person's mind. It diminishes their soul, unravels their deepest insecurities, and puts a tainted spotlight over them for the world to see. The laughter than ensues is so humiliating and debilitating that they lose themselves, ruining them for good. It's unhealthy, but natural at the same time. If we never felt insecure at least once in our lives, how else would we know what we were good at, what we're not, or how to improve? How else would we understand ourselves better? Throughout my life I've found myself feeling broken down where I continue asking the same question again and again. While most days I disagree, there are others where I do believe I am enough. God, those days are a true miracle. Without them, I honestly don't know where'd I be right now."
