You Are More Than Enough—Right Here, Right Now

Let me say this loud and clear:
Where you are is okay. What you’ve done in the past is okay. And most importantly—
WHO YOU ARE is more than okay.

Please, stop beating yourself up.
Start learning how to love yourself.

Whatever happened in your past is exactly that—the past. You did the best you could with what you knew at the time, with what you had available to you emotionally, mentally, and physically.

Recovery is messy. Healing isn’t linear.
And every single day is a chance to start fresh.

If you’ve been stuck in guilt or shame, I hear you. Forgiving yourself might feel totally impossible right now. It might sound like some self-love fairytale that you just can’t relate to. But I promise you this: the more you practice the mindset of recovery, the more real it becomes. The easier it gets.

But first—you’ve got to stop punishing yourself.
Just let it go.
Seriously. Try it.

I promise you’re not as terrible as you think you are. Not even close.

I used to sit in therapy and tell horror stories about my past, thinking I’d finally convince my therapist what a “bad person” I was. I wanted her to confirm all the awful things I believed about myself.

But she never played that game.

She looked at me and said,
“Kelly, you did the best you could. Now you’re learning new ways to cope. Forgive yourself. I’m not going to join you in ganging up on your past self.”

She was also the very first person to tell me I was fine exactly the way I was.
Not thinner.
Not prettier.
Not more accomplished.

Just me. As-is.

And now, I’m telling you the same thing:
You are perfectly fine just the way you are.
Believe that. Live that. Let it sink in, even just a little.

You’re not broken. You’re not beyond hope. You’re learning, and that’s what matters.

much love, kelly
