Tips for Overcoming Insecurity

onlinecounsellingcollege:

1. Believe you can make progress, and start to overcome it. That is the first, and the most important, step.

2. Think about a time when you took a chance, and pushed through your fear, and it worked out well. Remember that feeling – it can happen again.

3. Look for a role model - someone you relate to - who managed to overcome their insecurities. Let them inspire you and learn from their success.

4. Let go of the past, and whatever holds you back. Just focus on this moment, and taking one step now.

5. Stop resisting change – let whatever happens happen. You may discover that it works out even better than you’d thought.

6. Let the stress fall away and allow peace to flood your mind. As you learn to relax you’ll start to feel more confident.

Being brave doesn’t mean you aren’t scared. Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.

There are wounds that never show up on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.

i need tumblr’s anonymity so i’ll be posting again.

Be true to you, I’ve heard it said -
Be brave, and pave your way -
And never choose to change instead
For someone else, they say.
But if I’m who I’m meant to be,
And nothing more will do -
Then why does no one think of me
The way I think of you?

STOLEN CAR

sleep—patterns:

Atlanta (and surrounding area) folks: please keep your eyes peeled for a WHITE HONDA FIT out on the roads, plate # RCE 1305. Somebody stole my car from its parking spot on the street 7/1/16, and Atlanta police have been totally unhelpful. I work 3 jobs to pay for this car, and I am heartbroken. Please help me find her! Offering a $50 reward via venmo, check, cash, etc. Just please help me find this car.

so sorry to hear :(

She was beautiful - in the quiet way that lonely, unnoticed people are beautiful to those who notice them.
