Confidence doesn't come from believing in yourself. It comes from having done the uncomfortable thing enough times that your nervous system stops flagging it as an emergency. Because nothing is actually hard, it's just unfamiliar.
if you're scared to do something but think about it often, it's probably the exact thing you need to do to unlock the next chapter in your life. embrace the fear, welcome the change, and go after what you want with full force
i believe in re-reading and re-watching your favourite books & movies at different stages of your life. the plot never changes, but your perspective does.
