🍃I believe I am enough. — transparency/vulnerability post. As I was affirming this to my inner child, I started crying. Just thinking about all I’ve been through and where I am today. All impactful, but I am still standing. I am still strong! I am still my beautiful and authentic self no matter how many times others put me down or I put myself down! I cried and am still crying as I type this, because I am enough damn it! It’s not like I didn’t know it just sometimes I really can lose sight of that sh**! #ibelieveiamenough To my younger self: Leslie, you have and will always be enough. Do not concern yourself with anyone that tells you otherwise. Your “big” forehead, gapped teeth, thumb sucking, Tom boy ways, and loving personality are qualities that make you so very special! Yes, your childhood trauma impacts you, but they DO NOT define you! You have a beautiful soul and you are genuine! Love every single part of yourself, every single damn day! Because you are ENOUGH! To my older self: Leslie, everything doesn’t have to be perfect. There is clarity and beauty in mistakes baby girl! Be encouraged to use your talents, gifts, and capability to catapult your life and leave an amazing and lasting impression & impact on this world. You are LEGENDARY! Never let the world define you! You are so unique and gifted so be sure to embrace every phase of your life as a significant part of your journey. EVERY SINGLE ONE! I know you aspire for deeper connections with your loved ones, but understand, you can only do you part. Put forth the effort you deem necessary to cultivate the relationships you desire! It will be done. NOTHING is impossible for you! I LOVE YOU SO SO SO MUCH! -LESLIE ♥️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CaQSHDAle88/?utm_medium=tumblr
