#Self growth

[rat-barf63]

Posts like this are so important. So many people have passed through my life that I clung on to because I thought they were the best I'd get, or the only ones I could find, but when they leave and I hear perspectives like this it really helps me to realize the kind of people I need to be looking for. And how I need to, in turn, treat others to attract similarly kind souls. It's kind of hard to be honest, having to grapple with the fact I'm not as kind as I always told myself I was. But it's very important to me to try harder every day to become the person I need in the world. Whether for myself or the attraction of others.

Sorry for waxing poetic here I'm sure this is out of the blue for me haha

"someone who allows you to rest" is the relationship dynamic of all time

2025: #5 CONFIDENCE ISN'T GIVEN

You’re not born confident. Confidence is forged. It’s earned when you decide—and I mean decide—to stop caring about what people think. You want to know why you don’t feel confident? It’s because you’ve spent your whole life chasing validation. You want people to like you. You want people to approve of you. You’re scared someone might have something bad to say about you. But FOR REAL nobody cares as much as you think they do. They’re too busy worrying about their own STOP GIVING SHIT

..✒️So why are you holding yourself back? Why are you giving other people the power to control how you see yourself? Let me tell you something—if you keep waiting for someone to tell you you’re good enough, you’ll be waiting forever. Confidence starts the moment you stop asking for permission to be yourself. You’ve got to walk into every room like you own it, even if you feel like a fraud. You think everyone who looks confident actually is? Hell no. They’re just better at pretending. And guess what? The more you pretend, the more real it becomes.

HOW TO BUILD CONFIDENCE

Own Your Flaws Let’s get this straight—confidence isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being real. Stop trying to hide the parts of yourself you don’t like. Everyone has insecurities. Everyone has doubts. But the difference between confident people and insecure people? Confident people say, “Yeah, I’ve got flaws. So what?” They own it. They wear their imperfections like armor.You’ve got to stop being afraid of judgment. You think your flaws are holding you back, but the truth is, it’s your fear of them that’s holding you back. Confidence isn’t about eliminating insecurities cuz we allllll have ones it’s about walking into a room and saying, “Here I am, take it or leave it.”

Get Uncomfortable You know what kills confidence? Comfort zones. You’ve built this little bubble around yourself, and you’re too scared to step out of it. You avoid challenges. You avoid risks. And then you wonder why you don’t feel confident. Confidence grows when you do hard things. When you push yourself. When you fail and get back up. You’ve got to start chasing discomfort like your life depends on it—because it does.Start small if you have to, but start. Speak up in a meeting. Wear the outfit you’re scared people will judge. Say no when you mean no. Every time you push through fear, you prove to yourself that you’re stronger than you think. And that’s where confidence comes from—action, not thinking about it, not talking about it.

Stop Comparing Comparison is the thief of confidence. You’re scrolling through social media, looking at people who seem like they have it all together, and you’re sitting there feeling like trash. Let me tell you something—nobody’s posting their failures. Nobody’s showing you their breakdowns. Stop comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone else’s highlight reel.You don’t need to be like them. You don’t need to have what they have. What you need is to look in the mirror and realize you’re the damn prize. You’ve got your own path, your own strengths, your own story. Own it. Stop trying to fit into someone else’s mold.

Take Care of Yourself and Let’s be real .. If you don’t take care of yourself, you’re sending a message to the world—and to yourself—that you don’t value you. You want to feel confident? Start showing up for yourself. Eat like you care about your body. Move like you want to be strong. Dress like you give a damn. When you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, you carry yourself differently. That’s not shallow—it’s self-respect.

Talk to Yourself Like You Matter You’re your own worst critic. You say things to yourself you’d never say to someone else. “I’m not good enough.” “I’m so stupid.” “I’ll never be as good as them.” Stop. Stop talking to yourself like you’re worthless. Start hyping yourself up like you’re your own biggest fan. Look in the mirror and say, “I’ve got this. I’m unstoppable. I’m the one they need to watch out for.” It feels weird at first, but fake it until it’s real.

CONFIDENCE IS A MINDSET

Confidence isn’t about never doubting yourself LET ME EXPLAIN .. It’s about showing up in spite of the doubt. It’s about walking into every situation and saying, “I might not have all the answers, but I belong here.”

Stop overthinking. Stop waiting for permission. Stop letting fear dictate your life. People will always have something to say—'That hairstyle doesn’t suit you,' 'Why are you wearing that?' Who cares? Their opinions don’t define you. You like it? That’s all that matters. Stop living for their approval and start living for yourself.You’ve got everything you need to be confident—you just have to decide to use it. So, stop sitting on the sidelines of your own life. Get up. Take action. Be bold. Be loud. Be unapologetically you.

the world doesn’t need another copy. It needs you. And if you’re too scared to show up as yourself, you’re robbing the world of something incredible. Confidence isn’t given—it’s taken. So, take it. !

At some point in your life, you just have to realize that your laziness, your lack of goals and ambition, your unhealthy coping mechanisms, the books you're not reading, the people you're not meeting, the healthy food you won't even touch, the effort you won't put in.... it's called disrespecting yourself. Don't know about you, but I'm done with it.

☆ a lot can change in a year ☆

a lot can change in a year. this quote has been stuck in my head for a few days now, and honestly it speaks volumes. I did some personal reflection about how much I've grown and changed this year alone, and while I won't get into the details I will say that who I was at the beginning of the year is NOT who I am now. at first, I went through so much pain and loss and stress, but that's not who I am anymore. I've grown, I've changed, I've become someone who I always wanted to become because I decided to change. even when speaking outside of manifestation, people say that only YOU can decide when to change. reading self-help books, watching self-improvement videos, making a plan isn't going to help them change and become who they want to become. they decided that in order to become a better version of themself, they had to put in the work, the effort, and the time to carry out their plans. they had to apply the knowledge from those informational books and videos they watched. reading the information alone is simply not enough to help you get what you want, you need to decide its time to change. every moment is a new moment. who you were before reading this message is different from who you will be after reading this. time does not matter. there are people who post success stories of them changing their lives around at 14 and 45. people can literally change their entire lives overnight. 5 minutes from now, you could get a phone call saying you won the lottery, that email for that job you always wanted, an acceptance into your dream school, anything can happen at any moment. with the new year around the corner, decide that this is YOUR year. let go of the worries about your past. from now on, decide who you want to become and know that is who you are. this is your year, decide that you are the person you always wanted to become. because that is who you are now.

i just heard the phrase “if you wouldn’t trust their advice, don’t trust their criticism” for the first time and i don’t think i’ve ever needed to hear anything more

[recomvery]

One of the most dangerous things in the world is not being able to say no to people because you don't want to upset them or dissapoint them. This will completely ruin your life in every way possible, at work, in your private life, your sex life and your friendships. It's a way of removing your own consent in your own decisions and go against your wishes, it is always a crime against yourself. Let yourself have a say. Upsetting people is better than traumatizing yourself.

stop ignoring yourself. fix your posture, get a fresh haircut, drink water, take care of your skin, eat food that gives you energy, declutter your space, take time to rest, workout, do mindful meditation, fix your sleep schedule. when you feel/look good, you do good. invest in yourself, put the effort you deserve.

Hi pooks just wanted to let you know that I’ll be a little inactive these days as I prepare for my finals. My school doesn’t do midterms, so we go straight to finals, and I need to focus on getting ready. Every teacher will be giving the date of their exam individually, so I don’t have an exam timetable, which is making me feel really anxious. I have about 4 and a half weeks until the end of finals = of the semester, so I’m trying my best to stay calm and prepare. but I’ll try to post a little between these weeks to share my progress and updates. Also, I’ll be putting up the 2025 series and will try to update it once a week to keep everything balanced. Wish me luck!

Be weird. Please oh please be weird. I want weird, I crave weird, I love weird. This beige of false normality is a little too much for me. We can be weird together if you want. Tell me meticulously everything about your weird and I'll tell you about mine. Whatever obsessions or hyperfixations you have, tell me about them, I so desperately wanna hear it. We were born in this world, it is just as much our right as it is theirs to take up space the way WE want. Soo please, let's do it.
