Atelophobia

See, everyone wants to be different, don't you think so?
Everyone wants to be unique, and noticed.
Everyone wants to be remembered.
And in this race to the top, everyone is trying to be different.
Not themselves, but different.
Different in a rebellious sense, that would get people to notice.
And amongst all of this, the few real people that somehow hold onto their true identity, get labelled terms such as 'fake', 'weird' and 'loser', by those that are in the desperate need for attention.
What people don't understand is, if everyone is different in the same, monotonous was of an unusual being, then what, in the true sense, would then be odd, different and noteworthy in this world?
Everyone would dress the same, talk the same, walk the same, make the same, do the same, and all of this, in order to be different?
It's a paradoxical world we live in, and a contradictory nature that we portray.
If you can't see yourself for who you are and find yourself worthy of the attention of people, then why, even upon changing your habit and ways drastically, would someone else see something in you that you, yourself, didn't?
Your body wants to be loved, but by you.
The soul constantly seeks salvation, and not the kind that comes to you after death for being a good person your whole life.
No, not that, this salvation is one of a different kind. This salvation is peace, that comes from within. The kind of peace that could take all the stones pelted at you, for just knowing that the amount of hate you will receive is just a number, or an approximation of some kind.
For numbers fail to define one.
We are what we do, man is a creature of his actions- past and present.
This salvation comes only with the acceptance and love for oneself, it comes from the feeling of oneness with your mind and your soul, and more than just that, the feeling of being enough.

The term 'atelophobia' is very scarcely known to the common masses. It means 'the fear of not being good enough'.
How many of us feel that way? How many of us feel like we aren't good enough?
Not smart enough. Not pretty enough. Not skinny enough. Not fat enough. Not handsome enough. Not fit enough. Not accepted enough. Not loved enough. Not talented enough. Not respected enough. No popular enough. Not funny enough. Not enough. 
Well, let me just remind you- labels mean nothing.
It's okay to break once in a while, it's okay to need the occasional fixing.
If everything was flawless, beauty wouldn't exist. 
And that is what makes imperfection, perfection in a sense that it was supposed to be ever since the dawn of humanity. 
Everyone deserves to feel loved- loved by yourself.
So go, go and love yourself some, and then a little more.
