George Bernard Shaw once wrote; "There are two tragedies in life: one is to lose your heart's desire, the other is to gain it." As far as I’m concerned, Shaw was a punk! 'Cause you know what? Tragedies happen. What're you gonna do, give up? Quit? No. I realize now that when your heart breaks, you gotta fight like hell to make sure you’re still alive. 'Cause you are, and that pain you feel: it's life. The confusion and fear.. that's there to remind you that somewhere out there is something better. And that something is worth fighting for.

not good enough....


That's what I'm afraid of. Not being enough, not... good enough, not smart enough, not pretty enough, not... [Brooke Davis - One Tree Hill]

Welcome to my biggest fear and why I push people away, why I never let anyone get too close.

I am scared, so scared, terrified really. I know who I am; eccentric, thoughtful, introspective, so many things. However, I am also broken, flawed, blind. I am human, just like everybody else. I can say with certainty that I know who I am, despite how others may view me. I know me, all of me, good and bad, inside and out. I also know that who I am, who I have become in the past twenty one years, is good enough for me but I fear that what is good enough for me will never be good enough for someone else. And not even neccessarily good enough, but just enough. I fear that I will never be enough.

I know I shouldn't care what other people think of me, and on most days I don't, but other days... Other days I just want someone that thinks I am enough. Someone who can accept me for all that I am. Someone that will love me during the good and the bad. Someone to hold me through the storms. That one person who loves me even when I have trouble loving myself. I just want to fall in love. I just want to be enough.

Enough.
Good enough, smart enough, pretty enough...
Just enough.
