Twerkin' it Out

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I am self conscious.

Now, I know I just did a post about body confidence (and by 'just' I mean a month ago... oops). But that is not the self conscious I am talking about. Have you ever taken what you thought to be a really great picture, only to find out that you actually looked like an alpaca on shaving day? This is how I feel whenever I try to make a Youtube video.

For the last 8 months or so, I have aspired to have my own channel, with lots of funny/inspiring/thoughtful videos. I have a whole book full of video plans. But, to my chagrin, every time I sit down to record such a thing, I end up trashing the whole project because I am not comfortable with the way I look/the way I talk/THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I BLINK WHEN I'M NERVOUS!

So all that being said, I PROMISE YOU, videos are coming. And in case you're interested, I have tagged this post with some of the categories of ideas I have for the future. I'm really looking forward to sharing this with you!

Until next time,
Liv xx

MY LEGS ARE JUST AWFUL

HERE I AM.

ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE.

Just kidding.. I am not that way. But I am back! As I predicted, I am not very good at keeping up with things such as blogs and YouTubing. Part of what has made it so hard is the idea of not knowing what I am doing in life, or where I want it to go. But now that everything is settled, I'm back in business. I thought I would do a post about...... drumroll pleeeeeeeease........

BODY CONFIDENCE.

I know this is a slightly overdone topic. But why not jump in headfirst, I always say.

My whole life, I have struggled with body confidence, and self esteem. I have never been small, or even close to it for that matter. I was bullied in high school, and was given some really mean nicknames. This gave my confidence an even more shattering blow. 

To address this whole matter, I think there's one thing we should always remember. So what if you're bigger. Or smaller for that matter! Who cares if your nose is too big, your ears stick out, or you're seven feet tall? If people want to make opinions of you based on that, let them. The people who mean the most to you won't judge you based on your looks, but what's inside. And those are the people you most want in your life anyway, right? 

So go ahead. Buy that dress you've been wanting, but weren't sure if you could pull it off. Go to that party you were thinking of skipping. Rock what you've got, and I think you just might surprise yourself.

Until next time!
