LIFE

chin up, always.

hello! if this is your first time, and i believe it is, my name is cherry (more of a nickname than a real name). i am a dreamy person with a bright future ahead of me, even if life has been rough.

these are only my thoughts i have on a daily basis, because i am insecure and sometimes, i need to remind myself certain things to get my mood happy again.

one of the things i tell myself the most is to always raise my chin, never let my eyes drift down, but rather set them on something that can only be seen when having my chin up, and that is a goal in life.

when raising our chin, we also are showing confidence, even if we are in that very moment doubting our abilities. when we are showing confidence, we can also convince ourselves that we are actually self-assured, that there's nothing to be afraid of, that everything in this world is possible.

insecurity is ugly. trust me, because i experience it too often, and this causes me to question myself too many times wherever i'm doing the right thing, i look good in public or i'm not boring the person i'm talking with. however, we decide wherever or not we're doing the right thing etc., not anything else. not our insecurities.

lack of confidence can easily make ourselves insecure. so, that's why i'm always trying to tell myself: keep your chin up. you are perfect. you look good. your dress is lovely. you are interesting. there's nothing to be shy of when it comes to yourself. you are you, original. there's no one like you in this big world. you should be proud of this fact.

never let anyone's remarks bring your confidence down, because once you lose sight of your goal, that's when you're the most vulnerable. your eyes must gaze to a high point, as high as you can. your confidence will never make you waver when choosing a decision and will help you overcome obstacles.

you will be unstoppable.

trust that you are enough, and enough is always enough.

so, for today, try being more confident in yourself than the usual. don't do it for me, but for yourself. it will help you a lot, believe me.
