Insecure

For many years I wasn’t confident and was uncertain of many things. I would worry about what someone thought of me, never thinking I was good enough, constantly felt like my body didn’t look good and even insecure about the veins that would show underneath my eyes.

No matter how much makeup I put on or even someone calling me beautiful did not make my insecurities fade. I had to look within myself and learn how to love myself for who I am. I had to accept that my veins can be seen and they are what makes me, me. I took into account that if I wanted my body to look a certain way I had to work for it, so I did. Even though a lot of what I was thinking was psychological, meaning there wasn’t anything wrong in the first place. I learned that loving myself and taking care of my health was the most important thing. Having a healthy mind conquers all.

Right now, I can say I’m the most confident I’ve ever been. It was a journey but the process was beautiful. From being anxious about going outside and wanting to hide, to going outside and embracing everything I am is truly a blessing.
