Hey Rod! How you doin? Good, I hope...
Well, the answer to your question is a HELLYEA! I know I'm enough. If my therapist were to call me today and say that I was his worst client ever and he couldn't stand the smell of me, therefore I had to find a new therapist I would be heartbroken. Oh goodness, I'd be devastated. (Because I know I don't smell of course!) But, I'd pull myself up, continue with therapy (hopefully with a better looking therapist :)), and continue with my life.
I realize that my life won't end with therapy, or if my boyfriend dumps me, or if my car breaks down. But, I've learned that through therapy. And through therapy, I've learned that I'm a pretty good person, actually a darn good person. So, I screw up occasionally. Maybe a bit too often. But, I don't let that stop me. I'm entitled to a few mistakes. I am human after all, not a robot (heaven forbid!).
And, I've realized that I've made it through some pretty rough stuff already. If I can get through that crap, I can make it through anything. I'm not saying that I don't anticipate harder things ahead. I'm just saying I can keep up with whatever life throws my way. Or whatever gets thrown at me because I failed to live up to my own end of bargains. However I care to look at things depending on which side of the bed I woke up on the particular morning.....
I know I'm enough! Plenty nough actually. I just sometimes wonder if others see it, you know. That's what gets to me sometimes. Not very often, just on those off days.
