What's real confidence ?
I've been wondering for years how people manage to be confident. Like, self-confidence was such a crazy thing to me, because I was so used to listen to this negative voice that follows us all day and our whole lives. I used to care about what people had to say about me.
To sum it up, I used to care way too much about things that should not even get a glance from me, let alone a space in my precious mind.
Since I started this tumblr account ( not so long ago), I've seen some change in my life. I've been doing way better in a lot of aspects in my life. Of course, sometimes, I relapse in my old habits, but surprisingly, I can manage to overcome these difficult moments.
I've come up to such a logical, and yet so priceless conclusion, and I felt like I should share it with you, guys.
You should not give a flying fuck about what people think about it. Don't let them tell you what you can do, or what you can't do. Literally never let them tell you anything about yourself, because who are they to do so ?
Easier to say it, than to do it, right ? That's what I used to think too, until I realized that there are only three people that I should care about.
- The person I was yesterday.
- The person I am today.
- The person I will be tomorrow.
I am in competition with myself. I want to surpass myself constantly, and the crazy thing about this, is that when you see the efforts you make and when you see how you're improving, you genuinely do not give a fuck about other people, because there is simply no space for them in your mind, and in your life.
It's between me and me. There is no space for other people, there is only space for all the different versions of myself.
