For years I pretended to be someone else besides myself, I was just so scared of people judging me and saying negative things about me that I just pretended to be happy when deep inside I was hurting to be myself. I knew in order for me to be genuinely happy, i needed to be the person I was destine to be. I couldn't pretend to be someone that I wasn't just to satisfy the judgement of others about me.
The other night as I layed in bed watching the Bruce Jenner interview with Diane Sawyer, I was inspired and I felt so much joy for him to finally be who he truly is without giving a f#$@ about what anyone in the world have say. This is a man that is one of the world's greatest athletes, his family build an empire, and a man that is well respected and loved by many. But for years he was pretending to be someone that he wasn't just to satisfy his love ones and those around.
This is a man that felt that he was a women starting at the age of 8 years old and at 65 years old, he decided to be exactly the person he was destine to be. Some say why now? Well it's better late than ever and I applaud him for going through it despite what anyone may say or think. He is brave, he is a true hero and when he did this interview he was speaking for millions and opened up the door for millions to be themselves and not be afraid to be who they are.
Are you being your authentic self? Are you exactly the person that you want to be? Are you happy with yourself? Ask yourself these questions and if the answer is NO for any of them then I want you to breathe and know that by the time you finish reading this blog, you will make a promise to be who you are destined to be.
Why live your life pretending to be happy and pretending to be somebody else? Yes I agree we live in a society where we are judged for EVERYTHING from our size to the texture of our hair to our skin tone. Society want up to be this perfect little Barbie when I say everyday Barbie isn't perfect. No one is perfect and no one will ever be perfect. I always thought that there was a such thing as perfect but what I've learned over the years is that when you are your authentic self now that's perfect. Regardless of what you do or who you are, people will judge you. So you might as well be yourself and F$@# the opinions of others.
The best decision I ever made was to be myself, it wasn't an easy process finding my confidence and truly embracing who I was but I knew 4 years ago that I needed to be happy, I had to fight for it and be true to myself. The opinions of others didn't matter because at the end of the day, I MATTERED the most and no one was going to live my life for me.
It's not easy but you need to be who you are so you can make yourself happy and give yourself the true satisfaction that it needs. Pretending to be someone else isn't worth it and it's only going to make you unhappy. YOU MATTER My Confident Doll, you really do. Everyone deserves the chance to be themselves but no one will give you that chance besides yourself.
I learned many things that night about Bruce Jenner but one thing I know for sure he inspired me to ALWAYS BE THE PERSON I AM. BE CONFIDENT, BE YOU & Make yourself happy by being your authentic self. Never Forget YOUR WORTH!
Thank You Bruce Jenner, Someone I Will Always Call A HERO!!!!
A Confident Love From Me To You
