Change = Confidence

Sometimes it's time for a change. Sometimes it's time to shake things up. We get so accustomed to a certain routine, always doing the same thing, day in and day out, and for sanities sake, there is a need, a desperation really, to switch it up, and that's something that I'm pretty good at.

I'm the type of person who looks at her shoes and thinks, my shoes look....the same. Time to go shopping. I'm the type of person, who looks at her room and thinks, I'm gonna rearrange everything. I'm the type of person who looks at her hair, and thinks I'm tired of short hair, time for braids. It's not impulsive, it's necessary. I enjoy the idea of looking different, of seeming different, of people not being able to predictable. Maybe that's me predictable, but I just like to have change.

Honestly, I think more people should adopt this mentality. More people should be willing to try that color that you don't think you can pull off. More people should be willing to try those earrings that they think they can't do. More people should be willing to try to change small or large things that are part of their lives, because while there is a chance that this could be disastrous, there is still the chance of it being exactly what you needed. It could be chance for you to experience life in a way that is so new and wonderful for you.

While this sounds dramatic, practically speaking, trying to make yourself that much better could be the difference feeling unsure and you feeling confident. Maybe that haircut seems crazy and impossible for you to pull it off, but maybe if you think you can pull it off, that's half the battle. Confidence is not something that just slaps you in the face, it's not about being cocky. It's not even about being better than anybody. Confidence is simply knowing who you are and being willing to accept what life throws at you and make it work.
