A conversation many eras ago…
Wifey: I’m so embarrassed about how that situation unfolded. I can’t believe it turned out that way.
Female Bestie: It’s nothing for u to feel embarrassed about, it’s his loss!!!
Wifey: No, I don’t know what got into me. I think I just liked the idea of him. I don’t actually like him. Now it’s so embarrassing…
FB: It’s okay, we’ve all been there…
W: Sigh. I don’t know why I’m suddenly thinking of a guy I used to know named Fernando…
FB: Huh? Who?
W: I met him in Melbourne ages ago… I don’t even know where he is now… but he wanted to marry me and I rejected him. I should just get back in touch with him. If he’s still single, I think I wanna marry him…
FB: What the fuck are u talking about?! Who the fuck is this Fernando?! Why does your sense of self-worth have anything to do with being married or not?!
YOU ARE ENOUGH.
YOU SHOULD BE ENOUGH JUST AS YOU ARE!
YOU SHOULDN’T NEED A GUY TO MARRY YOU TO FEEL LIKE YOU ARE ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!
I’M NOT GONNA STOP YELLING AT YOU UNTIL YOU GET THAT INTO YOUR HEAD!!!!
YOU. ARE. ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!
Wifey: ๐ณ… … … (a little stunned…)
(This friend had never exploded like this before…)
I… am… enough…
FB: Yes!!! You! Alone!! Single woman!!! Just as you are!!!!!!!!
Who the fuck is Fernando?! If he’s not KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR, IN YOUR FACE TELLING YOU HE LOVES YOU AND HE’LL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU RIGHT THIS MINUTE, HE DOESN’T DESERVE YOUR ATTENTION EITHER!
You must’ve already rejected him for a reason!!! Move on!!!
Girl, do u wanna try SPEED DATING or something?! I’ll book it!!!
Wifey: Um. No…? I don’t wanna try speed dating…
I… guess I’ll just leave it for now…
I’m gonna think about what u said… I should be enough… you’re right…
I have no idea what Fernando is doing.
Omg how embarrassing if he already has a girlfriend or a wife by now…
FB: See?! You don’t need to contact some random guy you already rejected in your past!!!
Wifey: okay, you’re right… I won’t do that…
…

WHO WAS THAT?!?!?! WHEN WAS THIS?!?!?!
Lol… u’ve never met this friend…
WHO IS SHE?!?!?!
She doesn’t live on gold coast anymore.
WHEN WAS THIS?!?!
I’m not sure either… I’m tempted to say maybe 2014? 2015? I’m not 100% certain on the exact timeline…
WHAT THE FUCK?! U SHOULD’VE CALLED ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol… ๐
I was learning… that I was… enough.
Do u understand, from my point of view, my love?
Hmmmm… ๐ฅบ but I’ve always thought and felt that about u too. Of course you’re “enough” — how is this something u had to learn in 2014? 2015?!??!?!
Sigh… This might have to be another day’s fictional story about a young-ish woman’s self-discovery self-appreciation journey….
But her point was — you gave up on me too. You were in my past…
At that time… sort of… but also… you don’t know… my side of this timeline… if it’s 2014… 2015…
Right… I really don’t know it…
Who was this friend?!?!??!
Sigh… we first became friends because I noticed her tattoo. And I said, “wow that’s a really cool tattoo” and we just started talking.
Okay. So it’s a friend with a tattoo.
Ummm… yeah… lol…
That’s it??!!
For the fictional blog, yes.
Sigh…
Tell me your side of the story!!!
Lol… ๐ ๐ ๐
Am I enough? Have I finally learned this lesson by now?
Yes. And also. I’ve BEEN in your face! I did come to see u. In 2024. Incognito.
Lol… yes… ๐คญ๐
Now. You are worth considering… ๐โค๏ธ
You are enough.
Thank u. It’s an interesting phrase to remind people about…
Did she really shout it at you?!
Yeah. She kinda did. Like a stereotypical Italian mother even tho she’s not Italian. But u can imagine? With the hands waving and everything?!?!
Lol… ๐
She was… so frustrated with seeing me… the way that I was… at that moment…
You are enough.
Yes.
You ARE enough.
YES. Thanks love. I know this. Now.
I’m gonna write a song about it so you never forget.
Okay…?! ๐ โค๏ธ
You are enough… ๐ถ
