Day 2/90

Day 2 of the challenge went well. I'm stoked to say that I got to do a photo shoot for my website and upcoming book that I am writing. I can't wait to see the proofs of the pictures. It was a lot of fun, but I couldn't help but laugh at some of the witty poses the photographer had me doing.

As I was getting ready for the photo shoot, I just remember thinking of back when I was in high school getting ready for my senior pictures. I've changed so much more than physically. I'm such a different person. I remember being self-conscience of how I looked-not feeling attractive, over weight, not knowing how to style my hair or make-up, etc.

I was getting ready that day as a total new person. I felt attractive. I knew how to style my hair, how to properly apply my make-up. Although, I felt timid and shy when taking the photos during some of the poses, I had so much more confidence. I felt worthy of a photo. I walked with a pep in my step while we were shooting down town with random people watching us from a distance.

I've learned that when you surround yourself around people who bring out the best in you and distance yourself from people who bring you down intentionally or unintentionally, you become such a better and more confident person.

It's an amazing feeling that you can only understand when you live it. It's hard letting go of people you love but sometimes we need to learn to love ourselves before we can give it away to others.
