Not Giving Up

New Things, New Adventures

One thing I have wanted to accomplish is trying just one thing new a week, well I did just that. My partner is into DND (Dungeons and Dragons) I thought I would give that a go. I love the idea of creating a character in a fantasy world and thinking and acting like that character would. I decided to pick something easy. My character is a wood elf ranger- for those who are into DND you will know exactly what I mean. Well my partner bought me a book to help me plan my character and add in all the backstory and elements of my character. For those who have ever done acting/ drama classes it felt just like that. It was interesting. Definitely shy at first and not sure where to go with it but I made it work since my character is also interpersonal and does not like other species. I think as the sessions go on I'll get more into it. It made it easier to just sit back and listen at first as to how it all went. It also made it easier that my partner was the Dungeon Master (DM). For those who may like drama, acting, roll playing think you would like this. 

Fighting For What You Believe In

This past week has taught me to not give up. I deserve to have the best outcome when things go down. I used to be not confident in myself at all but I had a team once that taught me, I am my own worst enemy. Having a lack of confidence in myself is not going to get me what I want in life. I have more confidence now in myself than I ever have. Now I am fighting for what I want, fighting to make things possible, fighting for what I deserve in life.

Having that self- confidence is empowerment. Gives you that feeling of not giving up and to keep pushing.  You are your own worst enemy. I have a favourite inspiration that I have tattooed on my arm where I can see it every day and tell myself this every day. "She believed she could, so she did." To me that means that as long as I believe in myself, I can do anything I want, I can conquer anything, I can be confident in myself. As long as I believe in myself. And this past week has really shown it.

Was listening to music on my phone the other night when this song came up and it fit so well to this past week. Confident by Demi Lovato- this song screams confidence. It fit so perfectly to how I have been feeling lately. I'm sure we have all had that moment when that perfect song comes on the radio and you say to yourself "this is my song." That's exactly how I feel about this. 

If there's anything I can pass on to anyone struggling with confidence is to believe in yourself first. Take care of yourself first. It's also ok to be selfish sometimes when it comes to looking after yourself, this can help boost your confidence even more. Find that one thing that you can say to yourself every day that gives you that motivation. Don't give up, keep fighting, be confident.
