Confidence is Key

Many people are afraid of the thought of being alone, or worse, a nobody and alone. One of those people used to be me, I was the person who never went out, who'd rather sit at home and watch MAD TV or Madagascar with my nephew on a Saturday night. even though I hung around the 'Popular Kids,' I never considered them to be my real friends. I used to think that the only person who cared about Ashlee Nicole was in fact, Ashlee Nicole and you know what? That's fine, even though I've learned that not to be true. I had to believe in myself and prove to others that they should believe in me too because no one is going to see anything in me if I can't wake up and see things for myself. I've overcame obstacles and made a change in my life, I was not always this headstrong or mature, better yet, responsible. I love myself for who I am, no matter the faults, and I've never made a mistake, I simply learned a lesson. This lesson: Anything is possible, you may have to work a little harder than the next man, but you can do WHATEVER you put your heart and mind to.

I know that's right girl. The only love a women or anyone for that matter needs is the love of self. So many girls claim to need love and be in love but they fail to realize that you can't love another man or woman if you don't love urself first. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being alone in today's society woman need to learn to be independant. Much love to ya sister. Especially since ur an Ashlee like me! TTYL*
