My Most Hated Word

INADEQUATE. 

Need I say more? 

I don't hate it for being an adjective. I hate it when it becomes a feeling. 

Have you ever felt it? Working so hard. Staying up all night. Struggling. Sweating. Trying so hard. Giving your all. And still it is not enough? 

Did somebody ever make you feel like that word? 

It's not a nice feeling. 

So I've come to a decision that I should set my own worth. I define my own value so no one can tell me I'm not enough. 

I'll accept criticism because it is part of human life. That is the reason why nobody is perfect. Because there will always be critics. I will respect others' perspective but I won't let them run my life, unless I want to be in ruins. No, I won't do that to myself. My life's too precious for that. 

I'll strive to be the best version of myself for myself so I won't ever have to deal with feeling inadequate and living a mediocre life. 

Ugh... I just thought I hated the word mediocre too. But that's a different story.
