I Want To Be Happy With Myself

Sometimes I don't like who I am but I want to change that.

I Want To Be Happy With Myself

I am not a confident person. Never have been. I'm really insecure. I don't know where it stems from. Maybe from me being bullied in my past. I don't know really. I've never been that type of person who could openly talk about their feelings. I bottle them up inside and never speak about them until I explode or get even more upset. I've never been the type of person to tell a guy how I felt about them. Nope. Never. I work up the courage and then I chicken out. I'm not even confident enough to talk to random people to make friends. I'm too shy. I think it all comes down to my insecurities.

I don't really know where it comes from. I've been hurt so much from people who say they care about me. I've always felt that I wasn' good enough. Or I wasn't pretty enough. And I don't just say it so I can get attention. I genuinely feel this way. Sometimes I feel insignificant. It's something I have to learn to deal with it. I won't say I'll have to learn to get over it. I'll probably won't ever get over it. I don't want to anyway. My insecurities. My shyness. My non-confidence. It's all a part of me. It makes me who I am. Do I like that sometimes I think the worst of myself? No. But I wouldn't change myself one bit. I wish I was a confident person. But I can't change who I am. I love who I am. And eventually, I'll love myself completely. It's going to take me some time. I know that. I just can't rush it.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows.
