BBB: On Confidence

Sometimes I wonder what it’d be like to wake up believing in myself.

I watched a video recently where boys and men between 5 and 75 talked about their biggest insecurity.

And some of those men answered:

“I don’t have any.”

To them, the word “insecurity” was a foreign concept, a word they’ve only heard other people say.

For me, insecurity has always been a word I think of daily.

Sometimes I think it’s all in the mind. That if I just tell myself I’m amazing, I’ll wake up and think I’m all right as a person.

But some part of me knows that’s not true. That I’m not wired that way. That I’m always going to look at others and see parts of them that I wish I saw in myself.

On confidence — I wish I had some.
