I could really use a shift of mindset and a boost of confidence. I (24f) realized today that I’m still the same insecure girl I was when I was 12. Many years I tried to hide it by masking myself with this persona to make me seem likeable. Which I now realize was the reason for many decisions I made over the years that left me more broken. Although there has been progress within feeling more secure with myself and finding out who I am, I still feel my inner child inside wanting to cry and comparing myself. Craving for a book that’ll make me think otherwise
