“I found I was more confident when I stopped trying to be someone else’s definition of beautiful and started being my own.”

Remington Miller.

The biggest drawback as a human being is having to deal with insecurities about oneself that others make you realize. Not going to lie that I never feel insecure about myself. Growing up I got pimples on my face at a pretty young age but at that, I never felt that insecure about myself and by the grace of God, no one ever teases me about it. But now in the stage of adulthood my pimples are somewhat gone but the marks that it has left behind me are now stirring up my insecurities, why don’t I have a clear face, why do I have pimples and a lot of them? And to be honest that’s totally okay having questions because I am a human and it’s my nature but getting over it is what I am learning about. In school I was a good student I guess got good marks and that’s all. I was afraid to stand up on the stage and present things, I was afraid to even say the right answer, and I was not good at drawing and any kind of competition while my friends were. Now that I am writing this, I feel so proud of myself that how far I have come. Since then till today I have changed a lot back then those things matter to me even in family gatherings I was an outcast because I can’t make conversation and talk freely to people I meet once a year…while people around me can. But you all want to know what has changed today, I have gotten a lot of confidence in going on the stage even though I stutter and maybe messed it up, but I don’t feel bad about it anymore. I don’t feel bad for not getting mixed up in the conversation because I have realized my own personality and I don’t want to change anything about it. I have learned the introvert and extrovert personalities, which has made me realize who and what I am today. I have also been taken for granted as I was never great at anything and now I want to prove myself by doing better and better at what I am.

I am so proud of myself that despite my insecurities not only mentally but physically I have reached a point where I started to appreciate myself and be thankful for overcoming the problems on my own. I have learned to never compare myself to others as they can’t be me and vice versa. I know ahead of time that when I am going to feel low about myself what I need to do it, I have figured that out almost, and honestly, I would like to tell you that as well YOU ARE GORGEOUS, I REPEAT and you are enough and perfect for yourself. Insecurities are something that can’t go away, you just need to accept and love them so that others will also appreciate you as you do them.
