I'm a pretty confident person, but when I need an extra boost, I do a couple of things:

1.) Listen to SuJu's "y, Free, and Single",

2.) Dance like a y beast to "I am the Best",

3.) Urbandictionary my name,

and last but not least,

4.) Keep reminding myself that, despite my awkwardness, someone, somewhere, will love me for who I am.

You should never, ever listen to someone when they insult you.

No matter how much their words hurt, my beautiful babies, just remeber:

I think you're amazing, and there's someone else who thinks so, too.
