"Confidence"

Since starting this blog, I have received a number of lovely emails, comments and questions about my level of confidence. I've been meaning to write a post about it but I'm not one with words... and since you all enjoy my videos, I made a quick one on why I'm this confident and how I got here.  Here's a little bit of my journey though finding my self-confidence.

Best video ever. Also, the jazz hands at the end are another reason why this continues to be one of my favorite blogs. lol

The into is all me! I've never really been tiny but I was short once... I hit 13 and I grew sideways and all the way up. Personally I find it annoying when people go on about "who's gonna marry you?" Then I'm all "bitch, who says I wanna get married!?" This one guy was all "if you lose a lil' weight we can kick it." He was a bum. No education, no job, no tact, no personality, no heart. SMH! I was like "GTFOH"

What I mean is, I like this video.

Haha I understand what you mean. This is a good video. I mean I can relate. I was always awkwardly tall, didn't know how to dress or do my hair, didn't act like everyone else and it gave me like the worst pre-teen years. I'm still not totally happy with my life but I feel like it just takes a lot of realizing that if you're different from other people, there's a great chance that you're going to end up going somewhere better in your life anyway. So good video!

"Zero Fucks, Zero Regrets!" Randomly, I've lived by this mantra for some years now. Growing up, I didn't always feel that good about myself but I always put up a damn good front until I learned to love myself. Fake it til you make it, right? Lol.

Anywhoooo... Absolutely heart you and your blog! This vid just made my day :)

Dorcas said...

This video seriously came at the right time! I've had a horrible week and let other people's opinions make me feel like crap, but no more I say! Screw it, I'm just going to enjoy life and stop being so timid. I really wish I had this mindset when I was younger, my 15 year old size 18 self could've used the confidence boost. Ah well, great post!!! :)

I just found your blog, like two hours ago, read almost all your posts and you are fabulous. There, I said it!

I am a size 20 and have had a very hard time coming to terms with how I look. I am trying to break free of that now, and so far, you have really inspired me. I will definitely continue to follow your blog, and I don't care what you post, lifestyle, fashion or otherwise. I think you are fab!

And I would sell my soul a million times over for that striped Balmain blazer!!

Laura said...

Think I'm 90% there, but it will take me another few months to get through to 100%! I totally support and utilise your ways of thinking in my life but just have to convince myself 10% more! Xo

Monique said...

LOL!! Love it!! When am I going to meet you? Hopefully soon!

Ok well first off I found this really funny and soooo inspiring so thank you sooo much! I'm not sure if this video was directed towards me, since I'm really young, (12 in september) but I just feel like it was because I'm already plus sized and curvy and I'm still trying to accept that because once again, I am still twelve. I totally understand where you're coming from with wearing whatever everyone else is wearing because I do that now and then I hate how it looks and just get frustrated so I am going to take your advice and build my confidence.Thanks a million :)

"I am fresh out of fucks to give." haha that just made my day :) You are beautiful and absolutely adorable, and your magician magic hands were fabulous!

Hey! That's the first time I come here and I'm just thoroughly in love with your blog! It's just amazing!!!
The way I found it is kind of funny 'cause the link was posted in a Brazilian blog of a girl who was showing some inspiring photos for the weekend and there was two pictures of yours wearing some awesome outfits, really cool!! And then I started to read your posts here and found that video and I couldn't pass by without say: girl you rock it!! I already spent lot of my own time saying to people why am I feel so confident on my own and watching your video I couldn't agree more! I think exactly the same! =D

I wanna congratulation you and for sure I am already a new fan! rsrsrs

A big Brazilian hug for you! =D

As a fellow amazon woman, I so deeply appreciate this video. I seriously saw it at the perfect time. It was such an important reminder for me that my confidence depends on how I feel about myself and nothing else. Thank you.
