You Don’t Have to Be Perfect to Be Enough

I used to think I had to have it all together before I could feel worthy.

Like once I fixed all my flaws, achieved all my goals, became the most put-together version of myself… then I’d finally feel enough.

So I spent years chasing perfection.

I measured my worth by my productivity.
I picked myself apart, trying to smooth out every imperfection.
I convinced myself that if I could just be better, I’d finally feel like I was worthy of love, success, happiness.

But the truth? The finish line never came.

There was always something else to fix.
Something else to prove.
Another reason why I wasn’t quite enough yet.

And then one day, I asked myself: What if I’m already enough?

Not once I reach my goals.
Not once I have it all figured out.
Not once I become some “ideal” version of myself.

What if I’m already enough, right now?

That question changed everything.

Because perfection isn’t what makes you worthy.
Your flaws, your unfinished journey, your messy, real, imperfect self—that’s where your magic is.

So if you’ve been waiting to feel “ready,” waiting to feel “worthy,” waiting to finally believe you’re enough… stop waiting.

You already are.
