"You Are Good Enough. " by Sarah Jones

It’s 6 am and your alarm goes off. You lay in bed thinking about how you have to be at school in an hour. Debating whether you want those extra couple minutes of sleep and looking horrible at school or if you actually want to look somewhat decent. You decide to get up and get ready because there is this guy you’ve been crushing on for the past couple of weeks and you’re hoping today is the day he notices you. 

You’re sitting in class waiting for that bell to ring so you can see him. You have butterflies in your stomach just thinking about walking past him hoping he sees you. Maybe he’ll smile or say hi. 

He noticed you, he looked at you but didn’t smile or say hi. Instead he put his head down and kept walking. You wonder all day if you did something wrong or you don’t feel like you’re pretty enough to be talking to a guy like him. You try to convince yourself that he’s too shy to say hi but then you’re back to thinking you are the reason he wont talk to you and that you aren’t good enough.

You are good enough. 

You make a new friend at school. She’s so nice and you realize you guys have a lot in common. You two hangout all of the time, but when it comes to hanging out in groups of people she never invites you. You’re always left wondering why. Why won’t she introduce me to her other friends? Am i not pretty enough? Is she embarrassed to be friends with me? Does she just feel bad for me? You end up thinking.. i’m probably not good enough. 

You are good enough.

“Your value does not decrease based on someone’s inability to see your worth.” Never let someone else’s actions effect how you think of yourself. DON’T ever let someone make you feel like you aren’t good enough. Whether its a boy you’re crushing on or a friend you make. There are people out there that will make you feel like you’re good enough. Find them. Be friends with them. Because the people who make you feel like YOU are the best people to have around. Yes you are pretty enough, no you aren’t embarrassing to be around, and YES…

You are good enough.
