Confidence

Went out for lunch with my parents just now, apparently as way of celebrating my mum's birthday.

Somehow, my mum thinks that I have no self-confidence. Like, what in the world?

I dress the way I want to, I style my hair any way I feel like, I am able to express my own opinions, I do not conform to society's wants. I am my own person at all times, and I don't care what others say about that.

Isn't that in itself the ultimate expression of self-confidence?

If I were not confident, would I not dress the way people want me to? But I don't do that. Those people who know me should know. They've been trying to get me into a skirt forever, and they have yet to see the fruits of their labour.

If I am able to be myself under all circumstances, regardless of what others say or think about me. If I am comfortable with my every action, even if society deems it as 'crude' or 'inappropriate for a girl' or 'boorish'. If all these do not express my confidence, then what does?

Does she want me to put on a skirt, and look pretty for all the world to see before she is willing to stop putting me down, to stop commenting on my lack of confidence?

The way I see it, she seems to be the one with no confidence in me. I am fully comfortable with the way I am, and I will never compromise it for anyone or anything.

And either you accept it, or you don't.

I don't care what others think, I will always be who I am.

After all, the coolest thing to be, is yourself, isn't it?

Haha corny ending, I know. XP
