You Are Enough.

Look at me, all blogging a few days later! Kinda proud of myself.

Can I just say something?

It's ok to love yourself, just as you are.

Today's world wants to tell you that you aren't good enough. You're not enough. It doesn't matter what you are, the world wants to tell you that you aren't good enough. You're too short, too fat, too opinionated, too strong, too weak, too slow, too fast, too much or too little of everything.

Fuck that.


You're enough. You are SO enough. Don't let them in; don't let the world dictate whether you are good enough or not. Are you kind? Are you hardworking? Are you working every day to better yourself?

Then you're enough, end of story. It's ok to love your thick thighs, or loud mouth, or crazy hair. It's ok to be proud of your flat stomach that you've worked hard for, and love your big or little boobs. It's ok to BE OK WITH WHO YOU ARE. It's ok if you're dedicated to your health and working out. It's ok if you're not. It's ok if you're proud of your degree - or if you're proud of the path you took instead. It's ok to be proud of being a young mama, or be proud of waiting until you felt it was right. It's ok to be absolutely imperfect and have not a single plan to fix it - because perfect is boring. Perfect is cookie-cutter, and this world has enough cutouts!

It's ok to not buy into this world's crazy obsession with working out and crazy diets and being a size zero with a 2% body fat. It's ok to refuse the fat-shaming society we've created, and it's ok to stand up and say so.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. You are getting there, wherever you're headed, whatever you're working towards. YOU ARE WORTHY OF SEEING, AND OF ADMIRING. Your flat abs are a testament to your dedication, and your killer cheesecake recipe is a testament to your love of creating.

You are enough. I promise. Ignore the rest of the world.
