there will always be things lurking about, waiting to unearth you from your assumed sense of self. sometimes its a good thing. other times a necessary evil that upends us towards betterment. and on the rare occasion its neither and we have to learn how to push through. to still see the good within ourselves when no one is promoting that image in our face. this is not a call to disillusion yourself. all humans can be capable of all sorts of things and if you need to weed out your bullshit do that. but this is a reminder to not let anyone steal the capacity you have to see the value you possess.

Aye sometimes itās cool to have a real rap talk with yourself. Youāre not crazy, itās healthy. Sometimes you gotta remind yourself that youāre you and aināt nobody fucking with you. You the shit, toilet and the sewage system. Gotta be your own cheerleader and hype yourself up.

i keep catching myself being cynical/sarcastically-minded towards my own work and taking other people serious
if this isn't relatable then it's a recommendation to myself! believe in your own worth, completely!!!!

Iāve been known to gas myself up. Iāll walk into a room and announce that I love my outfit for the day. Iāll show someone a spreadsheet that I made and say that Iām in awe of my brain for having such a good idea and bringing it to fruition. And I can assure you that Iām laughing at every single one of my jokes.
Itās obvious how loving yourself and having confidence improves how you feel overall. We know this, we understand this. What I want to talk about is the lesser known impacts of believing in yourself, which is how the rest of the world interacts with you when you carry yourself with unshakable confidence.
On the surface, how do other people react when Iām giving myself a gold star? They giggle, sometimes they may roll their eyes.
On a deeper level, when you truly walk through the world knowing that you are that bitch, it creates an inexplicable magnetism. People notice you in a different way. Take a compliment on an outfit, for example. I wear cute clothes, but so do a lot of people. When someone compliments my outfit, what they are often actually drawn to is that they can tell that EYE feel amazing wearing my outfit.
I love job interviews. People find this shocking and confusing, but theyāre going about interviews all wrong. Iām not trying to sell myself, sound like I know what Iām talking about, convince someone to hire me, none of this nonsense. Iām excited to talk about my previous work and skills that Iām so proud of and how amazing I am. I donāt have to tell them how valuable I am, how lucky they would be to have me- the way I believe in myself conveys it.
As mother (RuPaul) says, āif you donāt love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?ā We always talk about treating other people in the way that you want to be treated, but that starts with you. Are you nice to yourself? Do you love yourself? Are you the only girl in the world? If you canāt show up for yourself in these ways, itās going to limit your capacity to show up for others.
We donāt have to pretend like this is possible every moment of every day. Most days, it feels like everything in our environment is trying to tear us down constantly (especially women!) and sometimes its all too much. Sometimes you just wake up and itās just not your day. These things happens. Good news- you can try again tomorrow.
Worried about being labeled as delusional? Youāre not- you are the baddest bitch in the room. Labeled as extra? Good. Take up as much space as you see fit. Vain? Thatās fine. Some people canāt see whatās beyond the surface; the 700th selfie I put on IG has much less to do with liking my face and much more to do with feeling beautiful in my soul.
Itās hard to put into words. But when you believe in yourself, people notice. They wonāt be able to put their finger on it, thereās just something about you that stands out. It comes through in our body language, our micro-behaviors, and the wavelengths and vibrations we canāt see and feel.
Try it out. Lie to yourself until you believe it.
Then, watch the world start to fall at your feet.
