I haven’t always had the most unshakable confidence. I haven’t always been able to hold my own center and see my worth beyond certain circumstances. I remember being so insecure at times that I thought I’d never be able to find true happiness until my whole world around me validated me. I felt like if I could just have the right amount of success, clout, and hyper-secure romantic love, that I would finally be safe enough to allow my self worth to grow. But what I’ve learned is that self worth, confidence and radiance isn’t TRULY built or integrated by anything but fire. Put me in an audition with 600 other talented women, and let me get cut after 6 hours. That reckoning with myself on the drive home is where my confidence was built. (Then multiply this experience by the 100’s of times it’s happened lol). Put me in an industry, in relationships, in work environments that treat me like I’m the most regular, unimpressive thing while keeping me in a state of constant comparison... Maintaining my spark, aliveness, and uniqueness in those environments is where my confidence was built. You don’t learn your true worth by always being validated and approved of. Your worth becomes unshakeable in the moments where YOU are literally the only one there to validate yourself. Over and over again, when no one else will, and deeper within than no one else can reach. You start to build this trust within yourself, and you start to find out who you really are; how strong you really are, how smart, how compassionate, how giving. Then one day boom, you feel yourself and KNOW yourself, and realize you’re unfuckwithable. So if you’re in the fire right now, It’s ok. You still have you, and that is the most powerful and beautiful thing to have 🖤 You are indestructible, and so am I. Love you.
