Once, in a letter, a friend said to me:
“Shan, I admire you for your confidence. I always have.”
I remember reading it and laughing. How ironic is that, being said to one of the least confident people ever?! Damn, I am good. VERY good at fooling people.
Well, that was the OLD me. I’ve had quite the turnaround year. Straight A’s in school. I have an excellent summer job. I wear what I want and know I look good. I eat what I want and don’t feel bad about it. I walk around with my head up. I have the confidence I have always wanted.
This weekend, I was told that I was beautiful, had a nice body. And you know what? For the first time EVER I believed it. I really, truly, honestly believed him. This is only the beginning. Bring it on. :)
