It feels like I’m the runner up time and time again. Good but not good enough. Love. Life. Career. You work so hard and you think you’re doing great and then something happens to where you feel like the runner up. “You’re great but….”. I know my worth isn’t determined by these sort of shitty situations that seem to arise but….damn! They do truly suck donkey balls. Everything is for a reason and I have to continue to think that because if I don’t……

“You’re great! But…”

“Be more like…”

When will it simply be, “you’re great!”

Here’s what I do know. I know what it feels like to hurt. I do everything I can to never intentionally hurt someone. Feeling worthless based off others opinion of you, not cool.

I’m sorry I’m YOUR runner up.

I am and will always be a grand prize in my eyes.
