Deciding that I’m NOT going to hide myself anymore, and that I’m going to SHOW UP as I am regardless of who judges me, has been one of the biggest confidence boosters for me
Even the HATE has somehow served me well tbh lol 😂 Every time someone leaves a nasty comment, it still brings my content to more people, and some of those people end up being beautiful, unique, creative individuals who I would have never discovered otherwise. So in a weird way, the negativity has helped me find more of my people. 🩷
Annndddd I realized that I genuinely do NOT enjoy assimilating into the traditional “professional” image ( I think it’s mad anti black) just because that’s what society considers respectable. I like colorful hair. I like cute, extravagant outfits. I like accessories, creativity, femininity, and looks that actually feel like ME.
