Dear Love, Time, and Death,
It's been a while, hasn't it? To be honest I'm afraid of all of you (don't take it personally), especially death. However, I know that you three are the ones who shaped me and will continue to effect my lifestyle.
Sincere...

Dear Confidence,
You're bold. And I like that about you.
You're the complete opposite of me; I'm timid and introverted and you're daring and brave. I would be Background Character A and you would be the Prince in shining armor.
Every morning when I wake up, you always remember to pat me on the back, reminding how I'm fine just the way I am. When I go to school, you hold my hand throughout the entire day.
Or at least for the majority of my day.
I'm not someone who is overtaken and drowning with insecurities, thanks to you. But, I do have my fair share of them.However, you are always there to remind me that I'm fabulous and beautiful just the way I am right now. Without you, I would probably a social outcast, considering I meet the requirements of every stereotype of a circus freak.
I love you, but you aren't with me all the time.
This usually happens when I have to perform or present something to a big crowd. You let go of my hand, and then magically disappear into thin air. When this happens, Anxiety comes to take your place but she does not hold my hand or whisper comforting words in my ear like you do. She pricks me with a needle and wraps her slender fingers around my neck, choking me, making sure that I stutter and that my cheeks turn red from embarrassment.
My words then start to slur together, as if an invisible string was holding them together which makes me speak faster. I begin to notice the stares of my peers boring into my skull, probably silently judging me. That's when Fear comes along and steps on my toes, making me squirm and fidget around uncomfortably.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. I'm here now." Suddenly, I see you in the back of the room, smiling. I smile upon seeing you and shake Anxiety and Fear off of me and continue going on.
My classmates all share the same look, "Is this the same person?"
I finish, waiting for applause. It comes; you are clapping first before everyone remembers that they will be graded on how they behave as the audience and joins in as well.
So Confidence, I have learned that no matter how difficult life may get, you will always come through and save the day.
