Did you ever watch a video that resonated so deeply with your emotions, it felt like someone had reached into your soul? That’s what happened to me when I saw a young girl singing "Never Enough" with such passion. I connect with this song on such a profound level; it captures feelings that words alone can’t always convey. However, the powerful message delivered through music from such a young child moved me so intensely and inspired me to put my feelings into words the best that I am able.

Listening to this song filled my mind with thoughts of self-acceptance, resilience, and the courage to be authentic, no matter how the world sees me. Her voice was powerful, reminding me to celebrate my uniqueness and the strength that comes from embracing who I am. Seeing that young girl singing with a flower in her hair felt like she was reflecting something deep within me. It reminded me of who I was and the age when I first became aware of being trapped physically, mentally and emotionally.
When I was ten, I was passionate about singing and begged to learn to play the guitar. On the way to buy the guitar, my father demanded something in return. Even though I fiercely protested, I was forced to perform an adult act. Though I ended up with the guitar, the memory of that night was too painful, and I would never learn to play. From that time in my life, everything felt overwhelming and my needs and desires became hard to express. I have never been able to break free of that feeling—until I met him. Even though it didn't last, it offered a brief glimpse of what it feels like to be supported.
When I listen to the lyrics, I hear a story of being trapped—trapped by a failed relationship, expectations, fears, or doubts. It’s as if there’s a battle between the version of myself that wants to be seen, loved, and understood, and the part of me that feels confined by these invisible walls I cannot quite break. The song’s message of fighting to be heard, despite everything, mirrors my own struggles. I have faced moments where I feel disconnected, misunderstood, or like I don’t fit into the spaces around me.
For me, the song is also about a longing for freedom—freedom from the past, the overwhelming thoughts, the racing mind, and the anxiety that grips me. It speaks to the desire to break free and show the world who I am, without fear of judgment or rejection. In a world that often feels chaotic or too loud, it’s like finding the courage to stand up and say, “This is me,” unapologetically.
It is not just about my struggles. It's about the moments I yearn to share, the laughter and the support that gave my journey meaning. It is as if the beauty of those moments is dulled when I cannot celebrate the victories and address the challenges in a meaningful way. I could gather all the treasures of the world, yet they would still pale in comparison to the connection I shared with him. The echoes of loss make it feel like I'm missing the harmony that once filled my life.
Watching that performance and writing this post remind me that, despite the challenges, there is a part of me that is still bright and hopeful. I am reminded that I have a voice, and even when it feels small, I should use it. My struggles, or lack of a partner, do not define my worth or my ability to shine. It is not just about the battle—it is about my ability to rise above and face whatever comes my way. I want to continue to find the strength and courage to push through the obstacles that try to hold me back.
Zephaniah 3:17 "The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love, He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.
