"whenever I’m reminded that I’m not enough for at least one person in my life" Hey, Wil. Here's a stone fact. It's not that you aren't enough for that one person. It's that he's not enough for YOU. What's lacking is entirely inside them. A lack of ability to love completely. To see the worth you were born with, and the value you earned through your actions and creations. It still hurts to have not enough of something you need—a father, a mentor, or whatever. But you are enough. More than enough.
Thank you for this.
I’m working on getting this reality from my brain into my heart, so I can heal the pain and live the rest of my life. It’s really, really hard, and I wish I could just flip a switch to make it happen. It’s taking a lot of work with my therapist, my family, and myself. Normally, I wouldn’t talk about it in public because it is so personal and so painful, but I’ve come to learn that I share this specific pain with a *lot* of people who are going through a similar emotional journey of their own, and if sharing my pain can help lessen their pain, I’ll keep doing it.
