Body Confidence!

To me, expressing confidence within my own body, is a way of expressing myself particularly as I see myself on the inside, out. And with that thought in mind, my mental health recovery and advocacy is so vitally important to me which I appear to express online through my many blogs (Tumblr, Wordpress, Twitter, Happier, and WattPad) and working on advocating for it in person, in real life!

Expressing the things that I believe in is something that is strongly an important thing to achieve with my life! And I intend on achieving and striving to be the things I wanna be and to basically “be the change I wish to see in the world” while quoting Gandhi!

Being who I am today took so much work, effort, patience, commitment, strength, self control, energy, happiness, hope, and much else that is needed! And for all that I’ve accomplished here, I’m more proud and glad I made the choices I made because they lead me to the person I am today!

Also part of being the person I have become today, it took a lot of things to bear the voice inside my head of society telling me to say this, do that, be this, wear that, don’t wear that, don’t say that, don’t do that, don’t be that. Which wasn’t easy one bit but it has been all the way worth it all!

For all that I’ve accomplished up till this point in my life, I’m more than proud, confident, content and happy with everything small and big!

I'm just someone who believes that she is extra-ordinary, is trying to figure out her life while living with many mental illnesses! #staystrong
