She said you can't know where I've gone
Or how far I've run
There's a reason why I can't apply
All of me
Maybe I ain't the one
How I adore our love would be so true
I just wish you knew
I'd be all yours if my mind didn't wonder
I've got scars from my life before you
Please don't think I'm insecure
I just can't trust no one else
Please don't think I'm insecure
I just feel safe by myself
Brent Faiyaz - Insecure
I'm sitting her reflecting on my insecurities I still have before, during and somewhat after this weight loss journey. How long is long enough? When can I get over them? Why did I have them? Do I love myself? How can someone love me with my flaws? Why was I born? Questions like these and more marinate in my mind and have crept down into my soul. I don't feel enough at times. The fu*k up thing about it is that I don't know what "enough" is... My insecurities and anxiety enjoys this word "enough". It is my kryptonite. The sworn in the side that can't be removed like Excalibur. I'm no King Arthur and my round table is consistented of my flaws and insecurities I see within myself.
This "enough" did not go away even after the 180lbs weight loss. I still feel that I can be more but what is more. Everyday I fight with this "enough" because I deserve happiness. I know to take it one day at time but it hard at times. This is when I go back and look where I came to where I am at now. Seeing the distance traveled compared to the distance in front of me keeps me motivated....
This was deep and I appreciate your honesty about how you feel about where you are in your journey and the struggle. In reference to not feeling like your "enough"... I think you should journal when you feel like that. Record exactly when your feeling don't think just write. Each time it happens write...after about 10 or so entries evaluate them for patterns... I think there might be something else there...
