your are enough

“Two years ago, I glanced over the city from the port and randomly said, “I want to paint THAT wall.” Last year, when I was actually invited to paint it, I thought I’d be thrilled. But instead, every single brain cell I had was desperately trying to find a reason not to do it. I play the self-sabotage game pretty well, you know. I almost turned it down. I kept telling myself I wasn’t skilled enough, senior enough, this enough, that enough. It sounds like typical impostor syndrome, right? But not to me. No amount of facts could convince me it was impostor syndrome, because, honestly, am I even good enough to have impostor syndrome? Luckily, there was no way out of it. So, I splashed some cold water on my face and used the biggest canvas I’ve ever had to say out loud something we don’t hear enough. You ARE enough. And this... this is just me trying to remind myself.”
