Confidence is something I had to work on

People tell me all the time that they like my confidence, and honestly, that’s a huge compliment because it’s something I’ve had to work on.

And before anyone gets the wrong idea, I am definitely not confident in every area of my life. There are things I feel great about, and there are things that still make me question myself regularly.

But I’ve realized confidence isn’t really something you either have or you don’t have. It’s more like a skill. You build it.

You move your body. You spend time on your own. You learn things. You try stuff. You embarrass yourself occasionally. You develop opinions. You get older. You collect experiences.

And little by little, you trust yourself more.

I’m also lucky to have some really amazing people in my life who hype me up, challenge me, call me out when needed, and remind me of who I am when I forget.

So if you think I seem confident, thank you. Just know it’s not magic. It’s years of practice, good people, and repeatedly doing things before I felt completely ready.

Still working on it. Probably always will be.😏#confidence #confidenceiskey #pleasure #femaleconfidence
