With each step I am more certain,
Everything will turn out fine.
I have confidence the world can all be mine.
They'll have to agree I have confidence in me.
- The Sound of Music

Not only is this one of my favorite movies ever, but the words of this song seem particularly relevant to me right now. Sometimes it's hard to be confident enough to believe in your abilities. I find myself thinking, am I really cut out for this?
Self confidence is something that I have definitely struggled with, as have many other people I am sure. It's been quite a journey from where I've started and I've come a long way. But I am so excited to be growing more comfortable with myself. It's easy to change to try and fit into a mold of what you're supposed to be. But how much fun is that? Be who you are--those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter. Dance in the rain; sing in the shower; take the world by storm. You're alive--celebrate it.

So on that note, love yourself. You deserve to.

You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth

And then you took the words right out of my mouth.
Oh-it must have been while you were kissing me.
You took the words right out of my mouth,
And I swear it's true.
I was just about to say I love you.
And then you took the words right out of my mouth.
- Meat Loaf

And it still never ceases to amaze me.
