Getting to know who you are through faith, having confidence in you♥

I think confidence is knowing who you are in relations to the rest of the world. I don't think being in a certain place will make a person more confident. Such as being a movie star, or having the best things etc.

For the most part I've seen celebs break down. I'm not sure if I would blame that on being confident, but it does show me they are certainly human. Sometimes it makes me a bit sad for them, because doing the thing they enjoy doing the most will put them in the public eye if they are very good at it.

Anyways, I think confidence comes from having faith in yourself. Being right in yourself.

There are billions of people in the world, they are all quite different, but so similar. Here, I see people wearing styles of clothing that are so common, but I watch them and their actions (such as their body language) helps me to see their individuality.

But I do think it may be tough because of the billions out there. Especially in societies. Since I am leaning more and more about the Japanese culture, I can compare that. There are these people called hikikomori. They are people who shut them off from the rest of society. That's a sad thing to me.

When it gets to the point where someone feels like they could not possibly belong with the rest of the world, it's very sad to me.Everyone belong. And everyone can contribute somehow. It's just finding that place.

But it seems societies shout out in silence for others to follow THIS or THAT way. I understand order, and maybe I should say some places are brainwashed by the media and what's considered normal.

They think abnormal is weird. That eccentric people are off. It's like has anyone every wonder what prize that person who judges receives for judging someone else. Does their words win over yours? Remember that you have your own mind. You are only as weak as you believe. Shyness can be overcome.

For example, I was watching this up close and personal video of this man who decided to stop taking heroin. In my mind, there was this harsh thought that he is dealing with the consequences. But I rooted him on because, yeah, even though it's his choice, and he's responsible,but I believe people deserve the chance for redemption, understanding, and support. They are people too after all. I'm happy he's putting forth the effort to stop. But I knew it was his choice and that he had to deal with the pain he went through because of he pain he put his body through. It's the cause and effect....um...thing (?)

So saying "I can't overcome this." is a weakness of the mind. And the mind living in habit. Habits in my opinion are addictions to the OLD WAYS. It's become a comfort zone. A very comfortable place.

Here's how I believe others can understand this. Think about being in your room. It's your personal space. Regardless of how messy or destroyed it is, you've become so use to it. In your room, you have all your things. You've gone attached. But now imagine you realize I have to get out, but you've haven't been out of your bedroom in years. You decide not to leave. You're afraid of what outside of that door.

This is comfort. It's that state of mind that things should just continue to be the way they are even though it's no the best.

However, I do believe we have all the resources we have if we aren't to greedy. There would be even more if we learned how to grow our resources, take care of our resources, rather than pollute it, overindulge, etc.

So what do I have to say to those people who are dealing with things such as these? Well, for one, you are DEFINITELY DEFINITELY NOT ALONE! Never ever. If you are in a town or city and you look around at the people who seem okay but you're not, I can understand how you feel alone. But take it from me please, I've seen all kinds of videos, read all kinds of blogs, and there are a lot of people with relatable situations.

"But I feel alone....", I think that's normal. You feel different. But understand, that is better than following everyone else. Think about all the revolutionist. They had a different vision, and they contributed to the world. I always think of the Wright Brothers. Everyone thought it was impossible to fly, but now we have planes, and it's the norm. What you call "different" is unique. But to those who start to harm themselves over feeling different, I urge you to please stop. Harming yourself does not but harm you. I think to people who harm themselves are silently searching for a true and sincere ear. Trust me, there are people who will understand you. You are NOT ALONE.

Second, if you want to get better, believe that you can. The mind is very very powerful. But understand, YOU make the choices, not your mind. Your mind is your mind. And you are the driver. Would you really let your mind push you over and take control? Not if you have to legs and a heartbeat....I hope your answer if no. Now I want to tell you something, all those habit people. It is very possible! Here's why I say this. I stopped eating junk food. I knew it was not good for me. It's yummy yes, but I want to stay as healthy as possible. So I started my journey. I started small by eating a small amount, then moved to a better and healthy alternative. But at my college they sold only junk, and it was tempting. But I knew I could do it.

Soon, I didn't care for it. And when I would try it, it didn't feel the same anymore. I did this with soda, and junk food. I did this with the thought I couldn't pass my classes etc.

So I say, yes yes yes!! YOU can do this. Even if I believe in you, You have to believe in you.

My proverb for you would be this: There is no such thing as an unwanted raindrop. Each can water a plant, growing the most beautiful future for the rest of the world to see.

You are all raindrops, and I believe you are very important♥
