When you feel like you’re not enough.

Sometimes it feels like I take one step forward and two steps back. I give what I can. I try my best. I pour my heart into everything I do.

And yet, somehow, I still end up feeling like it’s not enough.
Like I’m not enough.

No matter how hard I try, there are days I’m hit with the crushing weight of feeling like a failure. Like I’ll never be smart enough, capable enough, or worthy enough to reach the goals I’ve set for myself.

I know I’m not alone in this. We’ve all had moments where we question ourselves, where we feel like we’re falling behind, where the comparison game gets too loud to ignore.

Today, it’s loud.

I do my best to push through these thoughts. I try to remind myself that doing my best is all I can do. I know that. I believe that.

But still—there’s a quiet part of me, tucked away in the corners of my heart, that lets those doubts in. And that part of me? She’s tired. She’s worn out.

But she’s also strong.
Because no matter how heavy the weight gets, I refuse to give up.

I owe it to the little girl in me—the one who used to dream without limits—to keep going. I owe it to her to show her that it’s possible.

I owe it to my mom, who made sacrifices I’ll never be able to repay, not in this lifetime or the next.

And I owe it to her—the girl out there in the world who feels the way I feel today. The one who’s doubting herself, questioning her worth, wondering if she’ll ever be “enough.”

You are enough. Even on the days you don’t feel it. Especially on those days.
