Big thanks to emma_njh

So this is officially my first blog post and I am both nervous and excited to see the reaction to my decision of making this blog. Before I start I just want to give a massive thank you to the user that I have mentioned above. She is the most supportive person ever towards all my previous fan fictions (this blog is however not a fanfic). So anyone who is reading this it would mean so much to her and I if you go and give her a follow and even check out some of her books! And one quick note that I just wanted to add is that guys are welcome to read this as well as we are all equal.

One thing that I have always struggled with is confidence. Do you ever find yourself going through your Instagram, Facebook or Twitter feed and constantly comparing yourself to others? Or when you are out in public do you always ask yourself, why can't I look like him or her?

I find that the biggest one of them all is social media. Thanks to social media you can find anyone at anytime and see what they are up to.... Kinda creepy right? Well I myself sometimes go through my Instagram feed and find that I am always comparing myself other girls and I always ask myself.... Why can't I be that pretty, or why don't I look like that. Society has changed the way we look at ourselves and they always portray us as having to be a certain shape or size and that we have to be perfect. Let me just stop this right here. No one is perfect and no matter what shape or size anyone may be you are all still beautiful inside and out. It's completely normal to doubt how you look sometimes so I have come up with a few tips that really help me and I would like to share them with you all if you struggle with confidence in any way, shape or form:

1. If you struggle going through your social media feed and find that you are comparing yourself to others, STOP. There is one simple solution that may seem quite dumb and obvious but it will really help. Only go on Social Media when you need to and you will be surprised how much more confident you are with yourself.

2. When in public you gotta be confident and this is easier said than done. We are all unique in our own ways and that makes us who we are. Always follow this quote, "Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself." We are all beautiful and you gotta be yourself to let that beauty shine through.

3. Always remember that we are all the same people at the end of the day and that whoever you are comparing yourself to is no different than what you are. You are all beautiful souls that deserve to be happy with yourself.

Share how you deal with confidence when you are going through a rough patch in the comments below and I hope this helped.
