The fear of never being enough (And the silence that screams with it)
<p>There’s a fear that doesn’t wear a face.  </p><p>It doesn’t knock on your door or show up in a crowd.  </p><p>It simply… lives with you.</p><p>It follows you into rooms full of laughter.  </p><p>It crawls into bed with you at night.  </p><p>It sits beside you when you scroll quietly comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone else's highlight reel.</p><p>This fear doesn’t shout.  </p><p>It whispers.  </p><p>In the pauses.  </p><p>In the moments no one claps.  </p><p>In the mirror, just before you look away.  </p><p><strong><em>“You're not enough.”</em></strong></p><p>Not good enough to be chosen.  </p><p>Not smart enough to be respected.  </p><p>Not pretty enough to be noticed.  </p><p>Not strong enough to keep going.  </p><p>You’ve heard it.  </p><p>And worse, you’ve started to believe it.</p><p>You carry smiles like armor.  </p><p>You hide tears behind “I’m just tired.”  </p><p>You stay busy, not because you’re productive, but because stillness feels too close to truth.  </p><p>Because if you stop… you’ll hear it.</p><p>And if you hear it… you’ll break.</p><p>But here’s what no one tells you:  </p><p><strong><em>You’re not the only one.</em></strong></p><p>There are people who walk like they own the world — yet secretly feel like frauds.  </p><p>There are strong, beautiful, brilliant souls who crumble behind closed doors.  </p><p>There are high achievers who think, “One mistake… and they’ll see I was never enough to begin with.”</p><p><br/></p><p>We don’t talk about it — because we’re afraid saying it out loud makes it real.  </p><p>So we suffer quietly.  </p><p>Pretending.  </p><p>Performing.  </p><p>Shrinking.</p><p>But listen…  </p><p>What if you are already enough — not despite your fears, but because of your fight?</p><p>What if enough isn’t some final version of yourself — but the raw, messy, unfinished you who keeps showing up?</p><p>You’re reading this because something in it sounds like you.  </p><p>You’re not weak for feeling this way.  </p><p>You’re human.</p><p>So the next time the voice returns, don’t argue.  </p><p>Just whisper back:  </p><p>“I may not feel enough right now — but I’m still here.”  </p><p>And sometimes, that’s more than enough.</p><p><br/></p><p>🕯️🖤🌧️  </p><p>You are not alone.  </p><p>And you were never meant to be.</p>
