#selfdoubt

Try new things, step out of your comfort zone, take risks, do things in ways you've never done them before, ask for help, surround yourself with self-actualized people, become obsessed with the fact that you have one go-round on this planet as the you that is you, and realize how precious and important it is not to squander that. In order to be an icon, a few times you need to be bold. How do I define boldness? Stepping outside of your comfort zone.

Self-doubt can be a major obstacle in our personal and professional lives, preventing us from achieving our goals and living our best lives. But with the right mindset and strategies, we can learn to overcome self-doubt and boost our confidence.

1. Recognize Your Self-Doubt The first step to overcoming self-doubt is recognizing when it arises. This means paying attention to your thoughts and feelings, and identifying when you start to doubt yourself or your abilities.

2. Challenge Your Negative Thoughts Once you recognize your self-doubt, the next step is to challenge your negative thoughts. This means questioning the validity of your negative beliefs and replacing them with more positive, realistic ones. For example, if you are doubting your ability to succeed in a new job, remind yourself of times when you have overcome challenges in the past and focus on your strengths and accomplishments.

3. Practice Self-Care Self-care is an important part of boosting your confidence and overcoming self-doubt. This means taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental health. This can include things like eating healthy, getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, and taking time to relax and recharge.

4. Learn New Skills Learning new skills can also help you overcome self-doubt and boost your confidence. This can help you build confidence, expand your knowledge, and open up new opportunities. Whether it's taking a class, learning a new language, or developing a new skill for your career, there are endless possibilities for personal growth and development.

5. Seek Support Finally, seeking support from friends, family, or a therapist can also help you overcome self-doubt. Talking to someone you trust about your feelings can help you gain perspective and identify strategies for moving forward.

Closing:

Who I am, who I want to be - I know what I should be, what I need to be.

I keep my secrets locked tight; they don’t belong here.

I fold my persona close, the world won’t hold it.

I push myself in a cycle: work all day, work all night - do everything, do it right.

No time for fun - only the work. Is that the only way to live?

I wake with nothing to look forward to, drag myself out of bed. School - that’s how this world works.

At school I’m with friends; we stick and chatter. Then silence comes - again. I tally everything that needs to be done, search for time for fun, find none.

Home should bring relief, but a heavy weight falls. I stay quiet. Sometimes I speak - it never ends well. I’m always wrong, aren’t I? Sorry. My words don’t feel real. If I stay quiet I’m still wrong. Sorry.

Practice calls - I go. It makes Father happy.

School isn’t the priority here, apparently, but don’t we need it to live?

Art isn’t a job, I’ve been told - it’s engraved in my head. Find something that pays high; nothing I love does. If it makes money, isn’t that enough?

Summary: When he gets back to the loft, he looks around it wearily. He had only just reconciled himself to the idea of Tommy moving in, and here he is, alone again in his giant fucking loft. This is so typical.

Before he can psych himself out, he pulls his phone out of his back pocket, and gets up the 118 groupchat. Buck just so everyone knows, single again.

The key laying on palm of my hand

Waiting to open the doors of the place i called my land,

A home is what you call where you feel complete

Felt hollow with the all familiar faces so sweet

Alienated in my own house is that a crime,

Or should i just try to fit in and convince my mind

After all its my own home i reminded myself

The walls, the doors, the ceilings holds my secrets screams

Is it my fault or theirs to make me vagabond from my own shield

Am i in the wrong home I wondered

Found myself sitting at the corner

A house can’t be called home without the people you called yours

And the ones inside it are locking doors

Should i just tell them to leave

How should I cope with the emptiness inside me

It’s easier said than to be done they say

But the thought itself is weighing me down each day

Trying to clinging to the four walls which never held me

People acting here is kind of a movie scene

But question still remain the same
