I went clothes shopping a couple of times in the last few days and bought some things that I think I’m really going to look good in. I know it might sound strange, but for a long time I didn’t know how to shop for myself. I didn’t know what I liked, what really looked good on me, and what I would feel good wearing. I was constantly struggling to figure out what looked good, and I’d often buy things that I never wore or hated wearing. Now I think I do know how to shop for myself, and that’s a really nice feeling. I think it says a lot about how comfortable I’ve become in my own skin.

I think I’m going to force myself to get rid of the things I DON’T feel comfortable in—even if they’re cute, expensive, etc. I need to have a closet full of things that really fit who I am. I think that’s an important part of knowing myself and effectively being myself.
