Self Esteem

Confidence is not something that comes easy for me. 

I am 5'9'' tall, have a slim figure, small breasts, good hips, a small butt, and gentle sandy-olive skin.
I pluck my eyebrows to perfection, I keep my armpits and legs clean-shaven, my hair is straight but sometimes wavy coffee perfection, and I shower every day to maintain clear skin. 

All this and yet:

Most of the time I don't feel as beautiful as people tell me I am because: I am not perfect. 
I don't want to be perfect.
What I want is to be comfortable and confident about my appearance. I, like most women, have parts of my body that I don't like; but I'm not going to get into that.    

I am afraid to wear things that I want to wear because I am scared of change. 

I want to wear gorgeous heels, dresses, skirts, tights, and blouses. 



But I have such a hard time with it because I'm never confident that I actually look good. 
I'm never confident that I can pull it off, even though deep down inside I know that I can. 
I have a hard time because I know how mean people can be. 
I know the bad things that girls say about one and other behind their backs.

Why does all that matter?
