This was me 10 years ago.
I was 21 and insecure. I wasn't confident at all, yet, I did this photoshoot.
I put a smile on. I put a mask on. Call it pretending, I called it confidence building 📸
I was so nervous being on the street, scared of being judged by people passing by, worried about being mocked.
BUT instead, I had warm smiles from everyone walking by, complimenting my outfit, my curls and my beautiful smile.
At that moment, I realised it was just in my head - it's ALWAYS been just in MY head - judging myself so hard and giving negative self-talk to my poor body, before others do. Because this is how I thought I was protecting myself. Being mean to me so that it doesn't hurt when others do....
10 years in ... I was so wrong and all I wanna do is give her a big hug. Tell her it gets better.
WE get better ♥️
