This article resonates with me so much. The constant need for self-improvement, to live in competition with everyone, and the thought that ‘I’m not good enough’ as I am. Exhausting is exactly the right word to describe it. Maybe we’re all ‘good enough’ as we are?

Yes, exactly. It’s exhausting to keep chasing worth. Maybe we’re already enough, just as we are. Thank you for sitting with this.

You know you need an article when you start crying when you read it. I am so tired of constantly working to face my fears, to overcome my obstacles, to find my peace in the chaos. I am trying to find that still small space where I can feel regulated, can work, can pay for my livelihood. If someone said, “Here’s a job. Here’s insurance. This will take care of you,” I feel like I could finally relax. Maybe that’s a lie I tell myself, but it’s amazing how when your basic survival needs are threatened, you cannot rest.

Thank you for being so open. What you wrote is deeply felt. Survival mode makes everything heavier. I hope you find a soft, steady place to land. You deserve rest.

Seriously. I'm sitting hear with tears flowing. This resonated with me so much., especially as a project manager by trade. Everything I do is task managed, including my own growth and healing.

I am a person. I am human. I'm not a project. I am enough. ❤️🙏

This one hit home and felt like a warm hug at the same time. Enough is a choice, not a destination, not a bank balance, not a number on the scale, not approval...it is decided inside, where that quiet and wise voice lives.

Beautiful and apt.

This perspective is spot on and one I had not even considered. I have spent my entire life finding myself. Personal development and growth at the heart of it all. I am not only intrigued but inspired to just be. Not to grow but just allow myself to just be. Thank you so much for this. It was deep and I’m now hooked…
