"Every woman I've ever met feels it--
something deeper than just the sense of failing at what she does.
An underlying, gut feeling of failing at who she is.
I am not enough, and, I am too much at the same time.
Not pretty enough, not thin enough, not kind enough,
not gracious enough, not disciplined enough.
But too emotional, too needy, too sensitive,
too strong, too opinionated, too messy.
The result is Shame, the universal companion of women.
It haunts us, nipping at our heels,
feeding on our deepest fear
that we will end up abandoned and alone."
- Captivating by John & Stasi Eldredge

sometimes i think i feel too much
(all that's left is all of me)
