Dear Lovely You, The essence of ‘not good enough’ sits in my body with all good intentions. It wants to keep me safe. It governs my actions and my thoughts. It is convinced that its way is the only way and I believe it because it feels as true now as when it was formed in the early years of my life.
The trying to be somebody versus nobody can be its own trap. I spent years thinking if I was somebody that somehow it would make me OK and loved and accepted, and the truth is, I am deserving of all of that, without being anything or anyone. It’s taken a long time to get to that space. My identity does not define my intrinsic value and worth.
