Confidence Is Beauty
When I was younger, I was always that one kid who always got picked on, who was always laughed at, and who always was the last choice. I wasn’t like the other girls in my school (skinny, pretty, or popular). I always tried my best to fit in with the others. I would try and act like them, like the same things, or even talk like them. I knew I was beginning to lose myself, but what could I do? I wanted to be noticed by them, or even be friends with them. Before I knew it, I was the class clown. Every day I would come home from school sad or in tears because someone insulted me. Soon, I didn’t really love myself. I would wish that I could turn back time and change everything, hoping that maybe the new me would be better. I began to degrade my own self. I would hide from pictures, not look in the mirror, or turn down even the most genuine nice comments from others. It got to the point where I decided to move schools. I moved somewhere I knew no one would follow me and where no one knew who I was (probably except two people). I gave myself a chance to reinvent myself.

What I Am
A lot of things have come into light with me. From work, to my writing, to finally waking myself up. It took a while to figure it out, but I was finally able to get some answers. I was freaking out about it for the past year or so, and I didn't know what to think of it. I just took it in stride. It's one of those things you want to deny, but then, you start to accept it. With that being said, here's what I have discovered about myself.

You Matter Too
I can't help but say I laughed at myself when I wrote out this title, and subtitle, but I felt like this might be something that needed to be touched on for those of us who feel like we don't have the time, the money, or feel like we aren't deserving. The truth is, we do have the time, and we are deserving. I didn't say the money, because sometimes that is just hard to come by, but not everything you do has to cost something.

It's All in Your Head
I have never gotten a tattoo. It is just not me. I have nothing against tattoos, some look quite good, impressive works of art adorning arms, shoulders, backs, and legs. Some people look natural with ink, I just do not see myself as one of those people.

Gossip, Rumours, and Lies
We all tend to gossip, judge, and comment on other people lives. The tea is hot sometimes (sips tea, hahah) and we can't help it but tell our friends. Sometimes we don't even know if the source is reliable or not, if we're even speaking facts, and we will still go ahead and tell somebody that will tell somebody that will tell somebody that will tell somebody...

A Letter to My Future Self
You're standing in line balancing five items in your arms waiting for your turn to be greeted by the lovely cashier, "Lori;" as you're standing in line, you wonder how many cases of bottled Sprite does one adult need? You look to your right at all of the chocolate that can make your body go into a diabetic coma. You eventually bring your attention to your left and you see your favorite celebrity on the cover of a magazine with the headline: "A Letter to Your Younger Self." For the past several years that has been the tagline most magazines use to remind disadvantaged people how "normal" the rich and famous can be. From J.K. Rowling to Kobe Bryant, celebrities have been open and honest about the advice they would give their younger selves. One topic I've never noticed a celebrity do is write a letter to their future selves. It's a chance for you to start where you currently are in life and project how you see your life in the future. Sounds simple, right? For some, it may be, but if you're like me then you love to analyze and break down every aspect of your life. So, I went one step further and started to think about how I saw my future self in love, in finance, in life. Here it goes…
