i'm here. i've made it... at least for now. you are reading the words of a CONFIDENT womyn. it's taken me nineteen years to shake off the overbearing pressure i felt from everyone and everything but i think i've done it. i feel as if there has been a shift in my entire being, a sense of self radiates through me. my face, my clothes, my body, my style. no imitation. no worries. the feeling of having to overcompensate, impress, and compete is gone. i don't find solace in other girls faces or clothes anymore, just in my own heart and mind. i'm sure all of these words look like a block of cheese to you all but they are the truth. to be ok with, and, might i say, HAPPY with my appearance is a HUGE step for me. self confidence is something i thought i'd never truly feel and i really hope it remains.
