I Spent Some of Last Night Reading How People Don’t Feel Good Enough and It Broke My Heart

It’s Tuesday my people! On Tuesday we eat tacos (veggies ones because we’re healthy during the week), we worry about getting through the rest of the week, we celebrate our best friends (because today is National Best Friend Day), and we listen to this Muse babble about how you’re all good enough.

Non-makeup post incoming….! Leave now forever hold your peace if you don’t want me to babble at you!

Last night I lurked through like 500 comments or more of people just feeling lonely, sad, and not good enough. Some were even dealing with death of loved ones. This wasn’t my account it was someone else’s but I sat there crying over all these comments. Literally in tears. I wanted to reach out and just reply to every single one but it became too overwhelming for me to do that. Not to mention the account owner was probably like, “Ummm you’re crashing my comment section here can you leave now?” I had to quit while I was ahead because my heart was breaking into pieces.

I’m probably the biggest hypocrite for replying and trying to lift people up because I struggle with lack of confidence. I always feel not good enough but it’s not an emotion that consumes me. I’ll joke about it and make fun of myself because that comes naturally to me. I have people in my life that get VERY, VERY, VERY upset with me when I do this but it’s a hard habit to break as I’m sure some of you may very well be aware.

Again, this isn’t something that consumes me. I don’t dwell on being not pretty enough, not good enough, not perfect enough….I don’t let that emotion consume me. I just battle with it and I win. It’s sad to think someone out there let’s the emotion take over them to a point they can’t get out of bed or can’t do normal tasks because of it. Not feeling good enough has NEVER stopped me from achieving the things I’ve wanted from life.

You’re all good enough. Look to the people that make you feel good enough for guidance when you can’t find the way yourself. That’s what I do. I mean, some of you have been reading the blog for 10 plus years and you know I’m complete weirdo but I’m here for you if you need me. I have two ears and I listen really well. My dms are always open, my comments are always open, my e-mail…it may take me a moment to reply but you’ll get a reply.

I did a post about mental health last month and I think now more than ever before it’s so important to check in on yourself if you’re feel poorly or bad to a point you can’t find a way out of feeling that way. If it’s too hard get loved ones or people you know for help there are so many other outlets to seek help. Believe me your family and friends want you to lean on them!

Don’t let bad emotions consume you! Always look to the good, to the light…life is too short to spend it being miserable. I’m not saying don’t feel the things you are feeling. I am saying don’t let those things consume you. Work on fixing them and becoming the best version of you. And do that for yourself! Not for others.

Please take of yourself.

I think you’re all brilliant humans.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

    Thursday is the eclipse. I saw a gorgeous music video some would say was gloomy but I thought was beautiful. If anyone wants to see for themselves, keywords are ASHES, BARBARIANS, RB Dance Company.

    What most would perceive as depressing, I think is beautiful. The ones you read on the social media, I wonder if they are going through a process those dancers are experiencing on the video.

    I have a feeling this week is going to have that kind of high energy.

    I wasn’t going to comment but then felt the need to do so. I understand that you are trying to make people feel better and be positive, but saying things like: “Don’t let bad emotions consume you” is a very dangerous thing. I am struggling right now with grief that is so unbearable I sometimes feel I am going crazy. I literally cannot stop sobbing at times. Mental health problems cannot be willed away, as much as we like to think they can. Believe me, if I could just “not dwell” on my situation I would in a heartbeat. But when your mind is sick and it keeps playing the same reel over and over it’s impossible to stop it yourself. I have reached out for help, but sometimes people say they will help then let you down. I am just being real here. I am not blaming you or faulting you for your comments. No good can come from that. However, I want you to understand that you are very lucky that you can “battle with it and win” A lot of people can’t. And I am one of them. I know logically that one day I WILL feel better. But until that day arrives – whenever it may be – I am living in hell right now. I also understand that people who don’t suffer from mental health problems sometimes think: Just get over it already! I used to think that very same thing. But until it happens to you, you really can’t understand the full scope of the trauma it brings. I do applaud you for listing the various phone numbers for support, as there will be people who read your blog and think about reaching out to the phone numbers. As far as myself, I am seeking counseling and literally taking one day at a time. That’s all I can do for now…Thank you for allowing my opinion to be posted.

      Carol, your comment deserves so much more attention than a reply back here. I hope you used your real email as I’m going to reply that way so we can talk and I can explain myself a little better as well as offer some support because you sound like you need a friend and hey, here I am 🙂 I hope that’s ok????

    Wow. Loved how u posted a non beauty topic we can all relate to. So much social media these days, ppl are constantly comparing their life to others. Nor healthy at all, yet we still do it. Good post Muse, really enjoyed it. Very realistic topic.

      Thanks Ashley I’m glad you enjoyed it. I was a little concerned with keeping it up!
