In a nutshell

I'm a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend.
I love cats (especially mine), glitter, and palm trees.
I can stand up for myself. I can fall apart.
I bake. I play games. I like trivia. I suck at bowling.
I follow the cases of missing people. I used to openly cheat at miniature golf.
I have a big heart. Sometimes too big for my own good.
I'm a good cook.  I'm messier than I should be.  I love the Pacific ocean.
I have a hard time sleeping at night. I want to learn how to decorate cakes.
I love old people, especially little old men.  I cry easily. I love Independence Day.
I like history and cemeteries. I'm allergic to everything.  I like laughing.
I like making homemade crafts and cards.  I try to be a good listener.
I like sappy movies and buttered popcorn.  I've held a monkey and a goat.
I want to be a mother.  I have the best husband in the world.  I love nature.
I read a lot. I take hot baths. I spoil my cats. I love my nieces and nephews.
I believe in second and third chances.  I have a ton of regrets. I hate snow and winter.
I like checking the mail. I have a really good memory. I forgive easily.
I like Diet Coke and drink mixes. I like earrings. I'm shy but only at first.
I love BYU Basketball. I love crab legs but I don't like fish. Penguins always make me smile.
I can listen to the same song over and over and over again. I know I have a lot to learn.
I get homesick for people and places that aren't my home.  I start projects but don't always finish them.
I like to help people. I get a lot of headaches. I sing all the time.  I like road trips. I'm a sucker for Bingo.
I often feel like I'm not "enough."

I know a lot about myself. But I still don't know my purpose. Or who I really am. 

Sometimes I think I'm the only one who feels this way.

My dearest love,

You're definitely not the only one who feels that way. I feel that way, too. All the time. I always, always feel that I'm "not enough." I often wonder if the only people who don't feel this way and are absolutely sure are the zealots and the lunatics.

I can tell you a lot about who you are, if it will help. You are my love. You are my life. You are my very reason for being and the only reason I'm still alive. You are the best wife and friend a man could hope to have. You are my soulmate. And for what it's worth, you are my world and without you I would just be dust.

You are my love.

Take a good look at this list you've created.

You are more than enough.

You've described many many facets of one person, and yet this list doesn't encompass the whole of you; who you are.

I'm glad you are you, and many others are grateful for that too, entirely sure of it.

That you wish to become more, to do more, and to discover your purpose is great. Don't lose the wonder-
