Like I don't measure up
You're holding yourself against some measuring stick, and right now it's telling you that you come up short. But that ruler was handed to you by comparison, and it has never once told the truth about your worth. You don't have to measure up to anything to deserve kindness, least of all your own. The you that feels not enough right now is already far more than enough; it's the feeling that's lying.
Read one, sit with it, and draw as many more as you need.
Not Enough
Like I don't measure up
“Comparison is a rigged game; you are matching your bloopers against everyone else's highlight reel and then calling yourself the loser.”
More comforting words for this feeling
“You were never required to earn your place here. Worth is not a wage you clock in for; it is simply yours.”
“The people who look ahead of you are not ahead. They are on a different road, running a race you never entered.”
“Feeling like a fraud usually means you care deeply about doing it well. Frauds do not lie awake worrying they are frauds.”
