I think the best thing for me right now is to stop trying to SEEM confident and start actually building it. And building it means doing things that scare me a little bit, making mistakes, looking stupid, and then just... continuing anyway 💪 It means treating myself the way I'd treat a good friend who's learning something new—with patience and encouragement instead of harsh criticism.

Because here's what I'm realizing: every single person who seems experienced was inexperienced once. They didn't wake up knowing. They just started doing things while being scared, and they kept going 🎨 And somehow that's what created actual confidence—not the feeling of certainty, but the evidence that they can survive being uncertain.

What if that's what I need to focus on? Not on becoming experienced, but on becoming the kind of person who tries anyway? Isn't that actually braver? 💫 Isn't that actually more impressive than pretending you've always known what you're doing?

I think the best thing for me is to start collecting small victories. Moments where I did something scared and survived it. Times when I didn't know what I was doing and figured it out anyway. Those moments are real confidence, not the fake kind 🌸 And maybe if I focus on those instead of on how much I don't know, I'll actually feel different about myself ✨
