To me this saying always meant a lot(and who could forget the T.L.C banger!) to me it basically told me don't chase what is impossible, by impossible I don't mean jobs, money, goals and dreams I mean within ourselves! We(especially me as a women) fought so hard with my body to help it adjust to what I thought was 'perfect' but what I was really doing was trying to be someone else. As a women we all know especially from social media's perception that it can be a struggle to look or feel perfect. Confidence is all about the outside, it's on the inside that really makes us confident! When you feel confident inside it really does shine through. Its not about applying the right filter so it makes us feel better for a second, its about knowing what we have is good enough.
When I was younger in secondary school I had no confidence I felt I was overweight, ugly and worthless because of those things, and I would try so hard to almost feel a sense of acceptance. It did not get me anywhere! And because this showed on the outside it was easy for me to feel vulnerable, I was very unhappy with everything about me, my family would say there was nothing wrong with me but how often do we really believe that? There your family so they have to make you feel better right?
Still to this day (age 26) I am still not one hundred percent happy with how I look and feel, but sooner or later I had to face the fact that no one is perfect and that without mentally changing my perception on the way I looked I would never feel happy. I have now bit by bit realized that confidence isn't about what you look like, it's about how YOU make YOURSELF feel inside.
Social media and Instagram likes and a selfie can make you feel good for a five minutes(believe me I know) but we should try hard to appreciate what we have.
