So many women make their lives about self-improvement, posting about how they should be — they should be thinner, kinder, better mothers, better wives, better housekeepers, better earners.

Listen to me.

Right now, in this moment, you’re enough.

You really are. Even if you’re fat or mean or selfish or lazy or have a miserable, low-end job, you’re still enough. You are a woman of value. You are here because your presence in this world matters.

And perhaps you can’t see why you matter all too clearly right now, but a year from now, ten years from now, your understanding will have grown. And you won’t let your current perceptions of value cloud that ever again.
