-- I believe that ever since 9th grade, I've doubted myself a little
more than I use too. For some reason, what people think has
taken over my mind than what I think of myself. I want to stop
this self-doubt because I know I am beautiful, smart, talented,
and a great person. I just need to believe. But its hard to believe.
One of the quotes above mention that if you start to be in doubt,
there is no room for anything else, and I need to make that room.
I want to be the leader now, I don't want to follow someone
because I'm afraid to be myself. I want people to be like "I want
that girl to be my friend". Honestly popularity can come two ways
as I see it, there is the fake popular, and the naturally popular.
The difference is the naturally popular just believe in themselves
more than the fake. I love being around certain people because
they are so confident in themselves. I only get jealous of people
when they have faith in themselves. Not because of anything
else. Its weird huh. I want to be the girl that no one can forget,
the one you can't seem to stop thinking about because she is
so freaking confident, its hard to let her go. Even when you
try. Mostly I just want to go back to being happy with myself.
So when someone doesn't invite me to hang out, I'll be fine.
I'll be like super happy. I want to accept myself. I want to point
out my flaws and not care because the only opinion that will
ever matter, is MINE (: I will be this confident one day, just
give me time,to get out of this funk. Its gonna happen, I can feel it.
Mmhmm, its how I felt today. Self-doubt. I will be in charge
of myself, I will control myself. NO one else will. If I am not
me, who will be?! I'm ready to embrace the new me. I want
to believe self-doubt will never bother me. And it won't :D
Anyway, goodnight.
