confidence is uncomfortable

hi everybody <3 I cannot thank you enough for all of the love! We are truly on this journey together and I am so grateful for your kindness and support ❤️ Let me know what else you’d like to hear me ramble about in the future 💐

I live by this motto “discomfort is the potential for more comfort” and it has changed me life.

I love when random small youtuber videos pop up on my feed and the video is so good

Being a painfully self-aware and self-conscious person who has a vision but not the confidence, I feel this. Thank you.

this is the format i miss. just sitting down naturally doing things not all the music effects and animations and crazy transitions and editing. just human to human. thank you

I miss when YouTube pushed out all different kinds of small creators to the forefront, I love thisss

Once you start to practice the confidence, your passions start to make themselves known stronger and you can fully breathe them in. The passion and compassion you're exhaling in this video is beautiful <3

trusting yourself is a big one. the ONLY reason i start to doubt myself is when other people butt into my life and start giving advice that i didn't ask for lmao.

Becoming your desired self is like decluttering a wardrobe. You cannot just throw away everything all at once; there is this process of thinking, where in you keep some pieces and discard the others, until you buy a new one and replace everything with clothes that fit you better. It is a long, tedious process. But once you did so, it would feel like a fever dream. I, sometimes, get riled up over how far I've come with my mental state and how I see myself, whether that is physically or not. I've spent my whole high school life gaining confidence and now, I'm here, walking on Earth in a way that shows I deserved to walk on it.

soo important to talk about this!! confidence is a CHOICE it is not bestowed upon you naturally

i think the biggest stepping stone into being confident is realizing that self love and self respect are two different things. to be okay in your self, you have to not let people walk over you or put yourself in situations where you feel ‘loved’ but with side effects. once you respect yourself, even if you’re insecure this gets you in the mentality of not letting people waste your time and finding people who actually enjoy you and your presence.

Hi Inayah and anyone else possibly reading this. I wanted to share this little revelation of mine to the world rather than keep it to myself in a journal because I'm working on the confidence of believing that my words have the power to impact and influence others. For a greater portion of my life, I've deeply struggled with my mental health, battling long bouts of depression, immense anxiety and suicidality among other issues. For my whole life—up until today—I've wondered internally 'what's so wrong with choosing to end your life, why is the world so upset by a choice like that' and I've finally realized why: Every single heartbeat on this planet is on a path, a path that will lead them to share and contribute to the world in a fashion that is entirely unique to them. Ending your life is a disservice. I truly believe that even if you have no alive family members, no friends, no allies—the universe loves you, the universe is cheering you on, the universe wants you to help her grow. I hope this reaches whoever needs to hear it, i love you all so much :)

Got me really emotional when you started talking about how we should be excited for the people who’ll get to experience us and how we should be excited we get to experience them as ourselves, saving that for whenever I need a pick me up! Thank you for sharing your journey and yourself!

It’s crazy to think that the most conventionally attractive people in the world can also be most bullied, insecure, and abused. And it happens at a young age, so you don’t understand why you were bullied until your adult years :(

this visual vibe is perfect for my eyes

"Neurons need to Fire to Re-wire" is a quote that changed me. I found it when studying to return to Stanford to take Mechanical Systems Design in order to graduate with my engineering degree. It helps me understand that these well-established grooves are or are not serving me.

Guys the flowers at the end is the best part!😂 Anyway, as a 19 year old dude watching this, I actually needed to hear this. At some point a few years ago I realised I had feminine energy inside of me, and quite a lot of it. And then after working with it, I realised I have masculine energy too. And a lot. I can be sooo loud, confident, boisterous... But I can be quiet. I can listen. Yh life is good.

It's so hard to hold confidence at the same time as being sensitive to your feelings, like the moon and the sun

I really needed to hear everything that was said in this video 😭 here are some things I noted down in my journal - there is someone waiting to look up to you - the world is waiting for you to do all the things that only you can do - "everyone is stupid and I just decided not to be" - you are on the right path and going backwards is only going to be way more uncomfortable than going forward and making it (my personal note) - people need an example and there are so many people who are in the same situation as you and they need you to do what you need to - you are that person and you have that vision for a reason - it is worth it - everybody is going through the same thing it's just a matter of who is good at combatting it and who is consistent with being uncomfortable - pave the way ❤

That alter-ego/visualization trick works very, very well for people that grew up consuming a lot of media while having little to no adult role models around. It was the case for me after years and years of failing miserably at motivating myself to do anything at all, both with and without professional help.
