    “good enough”

    When quotation marks are used incorrectly, the message comes across as mockery & insult.

    Just sayin’.

      It reads to me as a response to ones self doubt. So while the phrase “I’m not good enough” might not literally have been said, it is the basic sentiment of self doubt and this post is a rejection of that thought.

      I agree quotes for emphasis are bad and occasionally outright terrible, but this doesn’t seem quite like that.

        By George, you’ve gone and analyzed this matter down to its tiniest nuance. I commend you for not settling for less than the purest truth.
