Enough Already

I was always made to feel like I was never enough.
never thin enough,
nice enough,
confident enough,
perky enough,
tall enough,
short enough,
smart enough,
pretty enough,
"natural" enough,
driven enough,
cool enough,
fast enough,
quick enough, 
funny enough,
Christian enough,
worked-out enough,
ate enough,
dieted enough,
listened to the right music enough,
organized enough,
cleaned the house enough,
drove well enough,
spoke well enough,
took care of the kids, house, businesses enough,
young enough,
loved enough,
talked things out enough,
needed someone else enough,
given enough.

Maybe I could've done more, but didn't.  Maybe that was truly all I could've done. Either way, I was who I was and that's the way it turned out.

Truth is, I'm tired. I'm tired of trying to be enough for everyone. I don't like being made to feel like I'm not enough.  So, from here on out, I've decided,  I would like to be enough,... but if I'm not, that's ok.  I am enough for me.
