I understand. I went through a phase just like this one thinking to myself “I’m not good enough. I’m not pretty enough. I’m not strong enough.” one night, when I was helping dad make dinner, he had me peel a cucumber for the salad he was making. I said “Dad I think I’m done.” he said “You did good, but not good enough.” that made my heart and my spirit sink. I though for once I’d finally do something good.

but now that I’m older, I’ve definitely became myself a little bit more. I’ve realized “There’s no need to do this to myself! I’m human, so I’m gonna make mistakes along the way, but I’ll learn from em.” life isn’t fair at all sometimes. it just randomly throws obstacles in your way to see if you can dodge them.
