Inadequate
No water left to fill the bucket to the brim. Not enough tea leaves to make a good drink. Insufficient salt, so the dish was really bland. (like me) Limited time, so the day didn't go as planned. Pathetic tune, so the song was displeasing. (like me) Dimmed bulb, so the darkness wasn't leaving. Broken promises, so the dreams were diminished. (like me) Ripped pages, so the stories were unfinished. Forgotten language, so the book was worthless. (like me) Empty hearts, so the smile remained mirthless. Soulless lives, so the ground often weeped. (like me) Faded ink, so the love never reached. Dull colours, so the painting was an eye sore. (like me) I am laced with inadequacy yet I wish I was something more.
~Naazima K. (Me)

Perhaps the most liberating moment in my life was when I realized that my self-loathing was not a product of my inadequacy but, rather, a product of my thoughts.

You have suffered from strong anxiety since you were at least 8 years old (and your parents are to blame for it).

Normal, in our house, is like a blanket too short for a bed—sometimes it covers you just fine, and other times it leaves you cold and shaking; and worst of all, you never know which of the two it's going to be.

Feeling Boring or Inadequate? When watching other peoples lives makes you feel boring and inadequate notice that you are judging yourself and practice compassion for yourself. Do something different. Get off the computer go outside. Call a friend and do something with somebody else. Write a poem. Get some exercise. Get out of your head for a while. — zenmister #boredom #inadequacy #judgment #judgingYourself #compassion #mindfulness #meditation #zenwords #zenmister https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd3QS1hOfn6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When you are favored by your dad and disfavored by your mom, so you end up in both worlds 🥲

what am i? if i were a cup of tea i wouldn’t be half full. it would be prone to slipping from your hands often, breaking into pieces before being rejoined and recreated. reborn.
not enough not enough not enough. what is wrong with me? even after completing all the tasks on my to-do list i feel unaccomplished. i feel like there’s something missing. i don’t feel satisfied. i want something more, and i don’t know what it is. maybe i don’t want to because i fear that it will be a tough road to get to. maybe because i’m doing things i don’t particularly enjoy for the sake of a future which i’m not even sure i will get and that is why i feel so incomplete. these tedious tasks and some recreation don’t do it for me. a hole gapes wide open in my heart shaped as a lock but i can’t reach the exact key. inadequacy. a word that haunts me. it’s echoing in the walls of my head like a bullet ricocheting, about to burst through my skull and leave me to bleed. incomplete, a draft, no finality— progress and setbacks and progress and regressing— yearning. give me what i want. who am i talking to? not him, not them, not anybody but myself.

I'm struggling a lot lately with feeling undesirable, especially with how it pertains to my gender identity.
Reflecting back on my adolescence, sex and feeling sexy was one of the most prominent ways that I could experience validation in a female body. I wasn't pretty, but I was kinky. I wasn't graceful, but I had tits and ass. I wasn't hot, but I could suck dick like a champ. I often neglected learning about my own desires in favor of catering to the whims of my partners. I was happy to be a tool. It gave me a sense of purpose, that maybe I wasn't a mistake after all.
"I'm not much to look at, but I can make you feel good."
Now, I'm not entirely sure what things are supposed to be like for me. Every day I inch closer to being clocked as a guy on the regular, and further away from the "intrinsically sexualized human" part of the spectrum. I know that trans guys and transmasc humans can be sexy af, because I think that about them all the time. And I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that I could end up as a hot trans guy, too. (shit, I like the way I look more and more all the time!)
But I don't know what to expect in regards to being perceived as attractive. I don't know if others will provide that validation I used to receive (and kind of miss at times). I don't know if the people in my current social circles will perceive me as attractive or not. I don't know if my partner still perceives me as attractive or not. Yet, also, I feel as though I'm not in a position to question any of this, because I'm still very much in the middle of my transition. We don't judge a sculpture when it's still a block of marble, or a house when it's still bare framework, right?
I think, at the end of the day, I've really got to find my self-esteem in someplace other than another person's eyes.

The excess I own sickens me with an inadequacy - the inability to rightfully deserve it and the inability to happily consume it.

Seeing more and more fanart and fanfics on my fyp and I’m having to fight the ‘people are better than me and that makes me upset’ complex I’ve got so thought I’d share some mantras/affirmations I personally use when this rears it’s head. I use these for drawing, writing, and academics too. Mantras can be difficult to get your brain to really hear and digest but the more you say it, write it, and hear it, the easier it gets (coming from someone who has been in many a therapy for many a mental health issues and is also a psych student)
1. You’ll only get better if you practice
2. Maybe you don’t have as much experience or practice under your belt as them
3. Nobody can be amazing at everything or they’d be too powerful, remember the other things you’re good at
4. (More art related) Maybe their technique is better, but they don’t have your brain with your ideas, if you don’t want make that idea into the thing no one is gonna get to enjoy it.
Would love people to add on or suggest more tags so people can see this ❤️
