One of the tricks I’ve learned is wearing things that don’t highlight my shoulders so much (V-necks, wider straps in bras/tanks, halter tops) or draw attention away from them (long necklaces, patterned maxi skirts). I’m naturally skinny and prefer a gypsy/boho look so it works to my advantage.

mrrrrp! :3

Nothing like the smell of hot electronics to stimulate the senses! Walking into a data center smells like binary heaven.

I fucking love argan oil to a fault, so maybe?

As long as it comes with a prescription for calf-high combat boots.

I’m a stay-at-home mommy. Finances are in her court for the most part because otherwise I’d buy shit like this all the time. xD

You don’t need to hypnotize me. You need to convince my wife to let me get one.

Honestly, if I was the last person on Earth, I couldn’t be happier. I have myself to keep me company.

The solution is in the definition. It’s telling someone with low confidence that they’re thinking to much about what others think, and therein lies the problem: it’s a negative feedback loop.

Breaking free of problems like this requires you to reprogram yourself. Maya Angelou says to do the best you can, but when you know better, do better. It’s not magic or some book you can buy, it’s just you and your mind. You decide what is real.

Confidence is not giving a single fuck what anyone else thinks and to just be your own person, no regrets. Who cares what you look like, how your dress, how you speak or act… fuck 'em! This is your life, no one else’s. Own it.

Two Albert Camus quotes…

“To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.”

“Every time a man gives way to vanity, every time he thinks and lives in order to show off, this is betrayal.”
