What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?

How important is self-awareness and confidence to you in your everyday life?
Self- awareness and confidence has pushed me to my brightest self. I go in every day being confident in what I can accomplish. But with confidence, comes humility. Knowing you’re not perfect but still striving to do better every day.
What makes you beautiful?
I think what makes me beautiful is my ability to love so big even when the world wants to make you hard.
What would you say to another girl your age who is struggling with their confidence? If I met another girl with self- confidence issues, I would tell her I understand her. And that she has more value to her than her looks, but that she is so beautiful. I would tell her she is bright and so very important. She has all the power in her to be whoever she wants to be.
