You’re most likely not going to talk down to someone you love, so why would you talk down to yourself?

Read More--Look back at an old picture of yourself, one where you looked happiest. What were you thinking at that moment? was it: "man, I will never be as cool as the popular kids" or "wow, I really should not have eaten that bowl of cereal this morning". No. You were happy because you were doing something fun, something that you enjoyed and at that moment, nothing else mattered, not the self-confidence, not the "I'm laughing too loud and someone will find it obnoxious", it was the fact that you were genuinely being yourself and that is the most important thing you can do. If you are struggling with self-confidence, open your eyes. Everyone is, but that does not mean that you should cower away and hide, it means that you should give yourself the opportunity to have that childlike wonder that you once had, just find it, smile, and stop apologizing for being the most beautiful, unique version of yourself.

But recognizing what makes you unique from all the others & owning it is already beautiful in itself.

Read MoreI believe the way I carry myself makes me beautiful. I am not ashamed of any part of myself. I take pride in being who I am (inside and out). My resilience, empathy, friendliness, and imperfections make me beautiful as well. My imperfections only make me more human, which makes me more beautiful. I bounce back from any and everything and I feel feelings on this deep, deep level. My social skills as well as my empath skills make me approachable, and reliable which I find to be beautiful traits alongside my confidence that radiates.
Read MoreMy advice for someone who just started in the model industry would be. Don’t be afraid to be yourself and show them you. If you have a bad gut, feeling, trust your instincts and also have fun, and don’t be too harsh on yourself if you did something wrong.
