Starring: Me

        If my life were a movie, it would be directed by Greta Gerwig. "Well, I Gave It To Myself. It's Given To Me By Me." This line from one of her movies titled "Lady Bird" reflects her attempt to carve out her own identity and assert control over her life, which many people, especially the youth, can relate to. It is deeply connective to me as it captures the universal desire for self-definition and the struggle for autonomy, especially during adolescence. You see, I have always been fascinated by how life can be as people grow up–There are still so many places to discover, knowledge to obtain, and hobbies to try. Now, picture this: the lights dim, the screen flickers to life, and the story of my life begins to unfold. Let me take you on a journey through the twists and turns, the dreams and aspirations, and the things that define who I am. 

       Throughout the time I've spent observing myself, I realized that one way that irks me boost my confidence is by receiving praises/positive feedback from my hard work. Knowing myself, I still do not fully trust myself in doing the things that are new to me. Knowing myself, I still do not fully trust myself in doing the things that are new to me. Despite this self-awareness and lack of trust in myself when facing new challenges, I am determined and ready to learn whatever it takes to overcome this hesitation. Aside from that, another thing I do that urges me to become better let my bashfulness aside is keeping myself fit and healthy, as I believe that confidence is a form of self-love because it means trusting, valuing, and believing in yourself, regardless of external opinions or outcomes. Focusing on getting fit and healthy strengthens my confidence by incorporating self-respect and commitment. When I see progress in my physical abilities, it reinforces my belief in my potential and equips me to handle various challenges, making me feel more capable and assured in all aspects of my life. 

      In the future, I aspire to be a better version of myself by fostering a mindset that welcomes learning and embraces the challenges that come with a change–a change that benefits me and the people I surround. I will remind myself that self-acceptance is a journey, not a destination, and that each step I take is a part of my unique story. As I go through the changes and adventures life can offer to me, I will strive to stay true to my values and aspirations. Most especially, I want my life to reflect the narrative of someone who learns, evolves, and celebrates their individuality, just like a character in a beautifully directed film.
