Who can honestly say they are 100% comfortable in their own skin? Now I'm not taking about how we look, how we feel about about our body weight or shape... I am talking about being comfortable with the person inside! the person we really are. Most people I think will agree that they would love to be a better person, less jealous or envious of others, happier with who we are or what we've got, being comfortable standing up for the person we truly are. Its easy for some, but not so easy for others. If I'm being really honest its something that I can struggle with at times. Now don't get me wrong I am confident to a certain extent, but it depends on the situation or the environment I am in. Nobody knows whats going on in anyones head and for all times we show this confident, happy, carefree person on the outside, it can quiet often be a very different person screaming on the inside. I read an article lately regarding something similar to this, and I felt like it was written just for me. It was like someone had read my mind, and pulled my thoughts straight out onto paper, or the screen so to speak. So I know I am not alone on this and maybe it is something that I will never be able change but I want others to know that being comfortable with who you are doesn't come quiet so natural for everybody
As I get older I become more at ease with who I am, as we grow up the people we surround ourselves with can shape who we become. I am very lucky to have positive and amazingly honest people around me that bring me back down to earth when I need it, but also who are my biggest advocators when I need them to be. Every now and again my little insecurities can jump up at me and even though I have put myself out there in the world of "social media" I get extremely embarrassed when I meet or pass by someone who watches my snaps or likes my page etc. Silly I know but I often wonder what peoples perception of me is??? Do they think I am a nice person? confident? knowledgeable? happy? full of shit? and so on. I don't know why this crosses my mind, and I don't understand know why I can care so much. I am fully aware that not everyone will like you in this world and this has always been something I am okay with, but I am very conscious of the way that I might come across. Some days I am stronger than others and nothing anyone could say would pull me down, on other days when I'm weaker a single word could shatter all confidence. Grow a thinker skin some would say, but thats easier said than done. We are, who we are.
It has become very apparent to me over the last year that people who are "comfortable in their own skin" get on a whole lot better in life, they don't over analyse, or worry quiet as much. They are okay with who they are and are confident in their beliefs, confident enough to be challenged and not back down. If you really think about it we are at our most comfortable with the people we love and I think thats why they love us, because we are our true selves. Maybe if I take this attitude to all other aspects of my life, work, blogging etc good things will follow. Too much time can be spent wondering what we should say, or should do, and how that might come across. Just maybe if we act like we do around our loved ones then everybody else can see what they see. Nobody is always right and thats okay, nobody is perfect and thats okay too. Now for me, its about accepting my flaws, being okay with them and with who I am. Not everybody will like what I've got to give but there will always be those who will too and thats where the focus should always stay
As always
