Enough

A young girl asks a wise old woman, "How does one become a butterfly?"
With a twinkle in her eye, the old woman replies, "You must be willing to give up being a caterpillar."

I am ready to give up...

settling for less than I deserve.
being physically ill.
playing small.
pursuing friendships with people I don't admire.
being too serious.
staying silent.
making excuses.
buying Baked Doritios instead of the original (who are they tryin' to kid?).
saying yes to the things that don't matter to me.
saying no to the things that do.
ignoring my inner voice.
spending time with men who don't deserve it. in. the. least.
"shoulding" myself.
not admitting when I'm unhappy.
not liking what I see in the mirror.
my so-called limits.
my story.
the things that keep me from truly knowing you.
living like this life doesn't matter.

It does.
