I wanted to share these words today.

Words written and spoken aloud by someone that's not actually me.

But by an amazing someone I'm dedicating this post to called "J".

Who in our private time today, shared a very familiar feeling with me.

--

A feeling that feels a little suffocating in our chest.

A heavy feeling we've known for a while that perhaps refuses to go away.

A feeling that if we gave a voice and the permission to say ANYTHING out loud.

Would honestly say that we feel a little LOST or DISAPPOINTED in ourselves.

--

Because many of us would have gone through periods of our lives.

Where we felt we didn't have the words THEN to stand up for ourselves.

And in doing so, we allowed or let OTHERS make us feel down.

And we were made to feel small and insignificant.

Like we didn't matter enough.

--

But we do matter.

And I mean this, really, to all of you out there.

We are enough.

We've always been enough.

Because the measure of how "enough" we are was never something for others to decide.

It was always for us to choose, how brightly we wanted to live for ourselves.

And no matter what the truth is also this..

That we really didn't deserve to let others put us down for this.

So whoever you are out there reading this.

Don't ever let anyone else make you stop being who you are.

Keep shining.

You are bright and you are enough.

And just like to "J", I can't wait to see you keep going on your journey.

Take care,
Hernping

P. S. To J, those were amazing words you said to your inner child. Thank you for being an inspiration.
