"People always ask me, 'You have so much confidence. Where did that come from?' It came from me. One day I decidied that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl... It doesn't have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it's your home, and you must decorate it." - Gabourey Sidibe

This is absolutely beautiful. It is amazing the way some people can be so confident in themselves even if the world crushes them and tries to take them down. Quotes like this is what inspires me to be me. I have never had a high confidence level. I don't know what it is, but I have always found it somewhat hard to look at myself and be confident.

I enjoy reading quotes like this. There have been so many times where I have thought to myself that I am going to care less about what others think and more about what I think, but there have been so many times where I have been shot down. So yes, I usually give up that thought.

But, I have faith that one day I will accept myself and be happy with who I am. I think that one day I will have my confidence built up so high that no one will be able to tear me down. And on that day, I will be proud of myself.
