Sounds really obvious that doesn’t it
I’m really late to the ‘confidence’ party
I’ve lingered outside in the halls of self loathing, doubt and hatred for too many years, head turned to the floor, blending into the wallpaper, hoping noone noticed me on their way in to the ‘confidence’ party
I’ve sat in the toilets of disgust, wishing the days and nights away, thinking how things might be different
And now they actually are
A lot different
The change is confidence, its still only a small light inside me, but its flickering away, shining brightly, showing me hope and optimism and opportunity
Its aided and protected by those around me who see the change, recognise it and encourage it
They offer compliments and flattery, smiles and kind words.
They mean a lot to a girl with criminally low self esteem.
Its taken a lot to come from where I was to where I am now, but I’m taking this moment to recognise the change
I’m walking taller, with pride and confidence, I’m thrilled with how Uni is working out, my opportunity to work with The Place2Be, and lovely friendships
I’m in a very good place – its a cool place this ‘confidence’ party and for once I feel welcome
I’ve got a second chance to make a good impression and I’m seizing it with both hands
