Insecurity is a waste of time. Be Yourself.
I never have been insecure about myself when I was young, because I see what a waste it is. Heck, I didn't even know what the meaning of the word insecurity until I am a woman.
I am a bit of a fundamentalist when it comes to Asian women. Somehow, we keep asking the same silly questions about our skin color, shape or sizes, tall, short, small or big - all about it, to change - yet also about larger questions: self-acceptance, insecurity and what the world tells you is beautiful. For many Asian women, the idea of natural beauty is unbearable.
I have been around women and men, who put me down, made me feel bad, and said things to fuel my insecurity.
Change is always tough. Even for those who see themselves as agents of change, the process of starting a new thing can cause times of disorientation, uncertainty and insecurity.
Look when I was a kid! Worry-less and the only thought in my mind was, "Santa will come if I be good girl." hehehe
Well, I am just like you. Be patient and trust your glow!
I used to say to myself, "Well, in the old days everybody danced because they loved to dance, and there was none of this professionals going on about how much can you get for this or that, or any of the kinds of things that makes me insecure. Sometimes all you need is just be yourself and love your body."
Remember this, there is someone who will look into your eyes and knows that you have a beautiful soul !
In life, feeling insecure is only natural, and there are times we feel like our stories are not worth telling. So we turn to the people we admire for strength. If we dress like someone who everyone thinks is cool, perhaps we'll be seen as cool. Just remind yourself - repeatedly - be yourself, and don't let what others say affect your life. Take the good and ignore the rest.
Everyone is UNIQUE. So, just be you!
