Disappointed
You do know, you are doing great enough for yourself, sacrificing all you ever wanted. Still it isn't enough, you always be failure in those eyes. How cruel things turn out sudden. Being worthless all sudden.
@DreamInAshes It is a heavy feeling, the weight of being looked at through a lens that reduces your worth to something small, of being labelled a failure.
I think it's okay to feel the hurt of not being enough for people. We are wired to want to be seen as worthy, and when that doesn't happen, when instead we are met with judgment.. it's heartbreaking. It's understandable to feel sad<3
But you are not a failure. You're not the disappointment of unmet expectations. You are not a reflection of someone else's limited view of what success or worth should looks like. You are everything that you have worked hard for<3 You are the kindness that stayed, even when the world wasn't. You are the one that got up and tried again. You're the one who made sacrifices, chose not to give up. That is strength<3 That is enough, you are enough<3
