Who I Am
_(Note: I hope whoever sees this reads it because we all need a reminder of our worth sometimes♡♥︎♡♥︎)_
_Who are we when no one is watching?_
_We’re people who cry._
_We’re people who make mistakes._
_We’re people who struggle._
_We’re people who look at others with envy._
_Jealousy._
_We’re people who ask many things over again._
_We’re people with anxiety._
_Depression._
_Health problems._
_Family problems._
_Friend problems._
_We all struggle with things._
_Different things._
_Sometimes I wonder if that’s how we’re connected._
_All are facing different things._
_Equally hard for each of us._
_We bite our tongues to hold back tears._
_We turn our music up to tune out the yelling._
_We look at ourselves differently in the mirror._
_We pretend everything’s fine._
_We’re people who don’t recognize our true value._
_We need to be skinnier._
_Smarter._
_Prettier._
_Happier._
_But those things are impossible._
_You’re going to look in the mirror and hate yourself at least once._
_You’re going to fail a test at least once._
_You’re going to cry at least once._
_Get angry at least once._
_We’re all going to fail at least once._
_And again._
_And again._
_And again._
_It’s just the way of life._
_But you’re not alone._
_There are people who are going through similar things._
_They will never be the same._
_But they will be enough._
_Enough for you._
_Enough for you to feel confident._
_Enough for you to try and be better._
_Enough for you to know your worth._
_Enough to see that it’s ok to not be happy all of the time._
_Because when you take that first step,_
_it might be enough for them._
