Me back in high school
Lately I've been thinking about self esteem, confidence, and overall general happiness. I've been inspired by a youtuber named BrittneyNGray by her words, beauty, and message. How she portrays confidence, self expression, and a sense of knowing who she is, and what she wants. I've never really been that type of girl, things have been hard in my life that affected my self image, my stability, and my happiness. But watching her has helped me see how hardships can shape you into a beautiful mold, and when it's over, and the drama or hardship has subsided, that you become a beautiful being with so much more knowledge and insight on life. I'm self conscious and which makes me unhappy. And just by watching her, I've felt that hope, by her words that I can change my insecurities. Of course not overnight but little by little by taking her advice and applying it to my daily life has changed my outlook dramatically. I started working out, eating healthy so that I will be comfortable in my bathing suit. I will not do things just because someone else tells me to, or if they thinks it's right. I want to expand my knowledge, ask millions of questions! And I guess this post is for all of you, if something is bothering you and it comes between you and your happiness, know it will pass, and in the end you will learn so much from it. Be confident and know how beautiful and special you are that there will never be another you, and that I want you to smile :)XO, Anya
