We often go to war at an early age and we don’t even know it! On the verge of who we wanna be while trying to hold on to who we are. Growing up I never felt as if I was enough especially with society telling you everyday what beauty was or what was trending. That’s kinda hard to focus on when your mother can barely afford the new bike you want with the Barbie streamers. I’ve always looked at things or places and people to validate who I wanted to be. It wasn’t until I actually went through some of the darkest moments of my life that I actually realized who I really am. Going through the traumatic times in my life almost made me develop a sense of protection. “From what??” You may ask? My inner child. She has always saw the world as an oyster, full of endless possibilities, and fun, as I grow through life as an adult I find myself protecting her as much as I can. As I look back to that little girl it was a time for me that I was the most free. I know as adults we have to grow and experience, but the moments when things are tough I always remember those times I doubted myself or second guessed myself or didn’t even believe in myself, that little girl finds me somehow someway and always tells me you got this! YOU ARE ENOUGH!
