I want to share an important decision for myself. I realize that I doubt myself too often—in my words, actions, appearance, and decisions. I'm tired of living with this feeling that I have to be "better" or "more comfortable" for others all the time. I want to learn to be more confident. Not to pretend, but to truly feel that I am worthy of respect, love and success - just because I am. I want to stop apologizing for my opinions, for my feelings, for my dreams. Yes, I don't always know where to start. But I'm going to do this step by step — I'm learning to listen to myself, say no, accept my mistakes and not compare myself with others. I'm not perfect, and that's okay. I choose to grow up rather than hide. And even if the path to confidence is not easy, I am ready to go through it. For myself.
