I know what you’re thinking. This letter is a way for a conceded girl to let out all the reasons why she believes to be the best of the best. It may come as a shock to you that this is the complete opposite. We all have similar anxieties, and things about us that we wish to change. Whether that be personality traits, or body image issues, every human has their own special way of projecting themselves to the outside world.
Little do you know that this girl who you say is “overly confident” and “way too into herself” is constantly battling the very same insecurities that everyone else is facing. Spending hours contemplating on what to eat for her next meal, or what to wear out on the weekends. Having her first thought when she wakes up be “must get out of bed and be productive” is the only push that gets her up in the morning. Always thinking of ways to express herself in the highest light possible.
Why do you think this girl puts herself onto this imaginary pedestal? Is it because she actually believes to be better than you? The true reason why this feeling of inferiority is exposed onto the face of this girl is only because she is trying to convince herself of what her worth is. To others, she is the whole package. She is too hard on herself to see that.
Far past her serious face and blank stare is the heart of someone who is hurting. Longing for the inner acceptance that no amount of makeup, clothing or exercise can fix. I believe that these misconceptions about ourselves and others can only be healed with love. Loving ourselves can be hard enough. That is why we must surround ourselves with the positivity and love that comes from the people in our lives that makes us feel complete.
Next time you go to make some sort of negative remark about another person, stop and think to yourself, “Do I truly understand what kind of life he or she is living on a day to day basis?” Odds are that you don’t, humans don’t possess the power to read what goes on in another’s mind. You may be surprised that the most intimidating person may become one of your best friends.
Live a life of positivity, stay optimistic and be kind.
From,
The girl who is way too hard on herself
