Emphasis on the FEEL.
I’ve had major confidence issues for a very long time, and once I started playing water polo I learned to fake confidence, so that people would like me better. I got better about my shyness. But every day, I looked in the mirror, and hated my reflection. I could always find SOMETHING wrong. Even when I was like 13 and had a pretty damn good body.
But over this summer, I went to Barcelona for a month, and with the combination of the people I met there, and the things I did there, I actually gained the confidence in my own beauty that I’ve always longed for.
I look in the mirror, and tell myself that I look amazing. Even if I’m breaking out, or my hair is foul, or I’ve gained 5 pounds because I had cake the night before.
Now all I’ve got to work on is actually BEING gorgeous enough that I don’t have to use my self confidence to boost me up…:)
