I was with a friend the other night he brought up something. I was hesitant responding. I finally said because I felt insecure and self conscious he looked at me and said I do too at times. I get it. I swear at that moment I connected with him on a totally different level. After I left he said to make sure I let him know I got home safely. I will be sleeping if I don’t respond but at least I can know you’re safe.
We have been friends a couple of years. I swear my connection with him changed from that one moment. That one response. Just took one remark. I saw him differently and he saw me differently. He’s been really attentive since. Our friendship changed and I must say it changed to the better. It’s almost as if I accepted my flaws and he accepted his. It’s like we are being real with eachother.
We all have scars and insecurities. I don’t care how amazing you look. How much money you have. How beautiful and handsome you are. What your body is like. How nice and funny you are. How upfront and secure you at. How out going you are. Your career status.
We all have scars and doubts deep down.
I was working out at the gym and a song came on and I looked around the gym and I swear I felt everyone’s insecurities. Everyone’s there to improve themselves. To help them feel and look better.
You have to understand we all have doubts. The goal is to overcome them. The goal is to work on them.
I used to have a friend who would help me with self doubt issues. He helped me with workout tips. We both helped eachother with stuff in life. He was really attractive and great shape especially for his age and yet he has insecurities too deep down. I can go through a list of people in my life that have insecurities and doubts and I never see those things when I look at them. I see their amazing souls and great personalities or great bodies and beautiful faces. I see self confidence.
But deep down they have these doubts. It’s our job to fix them. To forget the pictures of how we should be and look like and accept ourselves. To always improve but be comfortable in our skin with who we are. We are more than just a face and body. We have a deep down core. A soul. It’s not about looks. It’s about who you really are. How you make people feel. How you love and are kind and sweet and sincere. That’s beautiful. Not all this other stuff.
