As I reflected on what I want this coming year to look like, everything that I want to do, accomplish, and be is contingent upon me being more confident and sure of myself. I have had pretty low self-esteem for as long as I can remember, and I have more recently begun to recognize this and see how it has really held me back and limited my potential. I now understand that before I can genuinely and fully care for and love others, I must have respect and love for myself. I hope to grow in confidence this year so I can be the best that I can be for others in the future.
