"Not Enough" author: IPSYRM
Hello girlfriends, do you know that a huge part of my day I feel inadequate? You will say to yourself: "how come?". One such, not active enough, not where I should be enough, not enough friend, not enough cool, not enough sexy, not enough interesting, informed, smart, good mother, housewife, working, dream come true, not enough me. Well, being a woman in 2023 should come with some sort of manual anyway. Of course, I realize that a lot of these projections are a fabrication dictated by social media where I somehow really seem inadequate.
To shake off these thoughts, I say to myself: "what am I?".
I am the music I listen to. The movies I watch. The books I listen to. The clothes I buy because yes, it's part of me, my style. I am my friends, my child, my husband, my mother. The people I love. I am dramatic, romantic and funny. I am my jokes, even the ones about Mecho Omurtag and the ones on the edge of good humor. I'm a little bit of everything. A musical mash-up of that Only a hobo song that no one heard until a Rushie concert with hundreds of women. I will abstract myself from the frame of insufficient because I will never be enough for social media. I want to be myself, which is more than a comment written after a 10 second guess about me.
My girlfriends tell me, "baby, you're going to have to start talking about other things, not just baby stuff." I say to myself: well, I'll try. To be Kifflesque - I'm interested in Botox, body aesthetics tummy tucks, new Dior lipsticks and Milan Fashion Week. Kylie has a Timmy wallpaper and it's cool. If young people love each other, let them marry.
Happy Friday! We don't live for Fridays but...
