Having a chronic illness makes you feel this way big time. And it's something I think a whole lot of people feel even if they're healthy. So I think I've got it doubly bad. Knowing someone else feels the exact same way–and shouldn't just as much as I shouldn't? Again, thank you. This is one of those posts I'm gonna be sharing and keeping around. <3

This was a really awesome read. It's a weird thing to think about, that just because someone is better at something or more successful than me, that my opinions matter just as much. Thank you for sharing!

It's tough sometimes for me to look back on certain blog posts from the past because of these same reasons. But we all struggle with these inadequacies – some of us are just better at admitting it than others. Love you friend! I'm so glad you know that you matter and your words – oh my gosh they matter! XOXO

Thank you, my friend! I constantly struggle with those feelings.

BUT I am a million times better than I used to be. I kept a paper journal all through high school and through college, and there was some pretty awful stuff about myself in there. Thanks for inspirational Monday posts; they always make me think!

I think I spent my twenties battling all that that you mentioned. I hate that I lost a decade to comparison and ill thoughts that I wasn't much. Today I'm confident and happy and could care less what others think. I like my skin. Hugs to you beautiful girl!

My favorite line in the whole post is "The fact that someone out there does it better doesn't mean I can't do it. Or that I'm not good in my own way." Because YES.

You are so true and this is why I constantly try to stop and remind myself that I don't know what others are going through. And I certainly have confidence issues. You always hit this at just the perfect time. xoxoxo
