Sometimes I'm too much.
Sometimes I'm not enough.
Sometimes I'm simply not what is wanted or needed.
These are facts that will not go away.
It's truth for me and those it involves.
But it's not Truth.
Not Truth I can hold on to.
Or Truth that never changes.
It's not Truth about me for always and forever.
It's a moment
a relationship
a situation
a point in time
They can change their mind about me
But will I change?
In a sense, yes. I will become more of who I am.
And I will still be too much, not enough, or simply not what is wanted or needed.
Because THAT? That is defined by another person who is also sometimes
too much, not enough, or simply not what is wanted or needed.
Whatever reason another has
for not wanting a friendship
is not how you should define yourself.
How then?
By Truth.
Through the eyes of Love
Through Grace and Mercy
Through acceptance and forgiveness
Through understanding.
Then... go and define others in that way as well.
Even those that define you differently.
This. I love this...

Great thoughts!
ReplyDeleteI often think such similar thoughts...that I'll never be enough to some and yet to others I'm too much, of whatever...whenever. I used to be so much more comfortable in my own skin. Thought I was going to thrive in the live I've chosen for myself and yet I find myself so often treading water. Barely surviving. I want to feel good things again. To breathe life in and absorb it/live it for what it is...good and bad.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your words that so clearly express what I only think.
Sincerely,
a sister in this thing called life!
My husband says I used to live like my hair was on fire. I get what you are saying! Thanks for leaving your comment!!
