I’m not perfect, and that’s ok.

This is something I really need to learn. All my life, my family, my church, school, and friends have placed expectations on me that I have tried, often at the expense of my mental health, to meet. I really I would get rid of a lot of stress, anxiety, and depression if I stopped trying to make everyone happy or proud of me. The hard part is making that decision. A decision that I have come to believe is sinful. But deep down in my heart, while it might sound as quiet as a whisper, I hear my heart saying, “you are enough.” I just hope that whisper gets louder and louder to the point where I can speak out loud those words in confidence.
