Welcome to my blog, readers! Intro, intro, intro... what shall I write? It will probably be a jumble of thoughts. Check it out below if you please.
I've been thinking. What makes a person insecure? People are just people.
I had a job interview this week and I was scared out of my mind. Why is that? They aren't going to hurt me or make fun of me or humiliate me. They are just asking me questions that I know the answers to; questions about myself. All I have to do is be honest and act confident in myself. It's not as intimidating when you think of it that way.
Why are the "popular kids" popular? What makes them cooler than anyone else? They have no right to make you or me feel insecure or looked down upon, so don't let them. They are probably awesome people, so they wouldn't want you to feel insecure or lesser than them anyway. They may be noticed for their talents and good looks, but that doesn't mean you're not just as talented or just as good looking. I feel like too many of us let ourselves believe that we aren't as cool as some of our peers, but that is not true, even if you walk through the halls of Lone Peak unnoticed. I wish high school wasn't such a competition. Train yourself to just enjoy it and not get competitive. It's kind of like bowling for me. I score a 48, but I still enjoy the game. It's okay to be that person that scores lower, or that person that isn't the most popular among their peers.
Respect yourself a little more. You're awesome.
All you say is true, but it's easier said than done.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen that ad from the 40s, advertising pills to make you gain 20 pounds, so you're not "too skinny?" I've always wondered, how did we change from thinking healthy is beautiful, to thinking bland skin and bones are?
Anyway, nice insight. You're ahead of your years from realizing that already :)
Love this. Good insight.
