Confidence Comes From Acceptance
What are your body's biggest insecurities? We lose faith in ourselves because we refuse to acknowledge what we already have. We all have flaws, but it is through those imperfections that we learn to embrace the truth of what we have. I have numerous weaknesses and insecurities, some of which I have embraced and others which I have not. For today's blog, I'm going to tell you about some of my perceived flaws and insecurities. This post serves as a form of self-improvement because I know it will teach me to accept everything. What are my Flaws and biggest Insecurities? **Dark Skin**
Since Childhood I been bullied because of the dark skin I had. My classmates telling me that I am like a butt of pot because of my skin darkness. And it feels like I am not belong to the group. But as I grow up, I learned to accept my skin color and also I seen many celebrities that have dark skin also. I taught myself that **"I should accept my skin color because it symbolize that I am a Filipino"**. Having a dark skin is not a problem because having having a dark skin is a previllage to show the world that I am a pure filipino. **Having Pimples**
Unclear skin or having pimples in my face. I know that everyone will be at this stage which is puberty, and we can't avoid this orbicularly I am in my puberty stage, but I can't avoid to have insecurities because of this. Some teenager had low self-esteem because they are having pimples, and I nit exempted in that. To accept this flaws, **I always taught myself that this flaws is only part of puberty stage and it will fade**. I am trying to use soaps right now and , I thank God that it is effective to my skin because I used some soaps and skin care and it doesn't have effect. **Public Speaking**
Afraid of Public Speaking is one of my challenge in my whole life. I don't have a confident speak in public. This also the reason why I choose Education as my course to overcome this. Because I think in this field I will overcome my fear. I am in my first year college right now and I admit that I still afraid of reportings, even though the modality of learning is online. I still do fear and afraid of reportings in school. I hope and pray that I will overcome this kind of fear, especially the Commission of Higher Education (CHED) plans to open classes this January, that this will help me to overcome this. **Incomplete Teeth**
This is one of the reason, why I am afraid to speak in public because of my teeth. I admit that in my childhood I didn't care my Teeth. I spoiled myself eating chocolates, junk foods and candies, that cause my teeth to damage. I am planning to have a dentures this month, maybe next week, I will go to a dentist to uproot all of my damage tooth. It is hard to suffer a low confidence. **Thin Body**
Lastly, having a thin body, many people mocked me of having a thin body. I eat healthy vegetables and fruits but my bosy still thin. I eat enough food but my body does. To all the people out there, it is okay that have a thin body, there is nothing wrong about that. I accepted on what God gave me a body, and this is a blessing not a curse. It is only the people who are making it a mistake. Let us mind our own business and appreciate it. Having a thin body is a advantage also sometimes and sometimes is a disadvantage. Conclusion We all have imperfections and insecurities, and the only thing we can do is accept them because God allowed it to happen to us, which indicates there is a reason for it. I admit that I have insulted others because of their flaws, but I ask forgiveness from those individuals, as well as God. It's not good to make fun of other people's flaws because you, too, have flaws. Let us be grateful for everything God has given us, and let us assist others in overcoming and accepting their imperfections and insecurities. **In everything we have in our life, there is a purpose in it.** ***"Do not do unto others as you would that they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same*** **George Bernard Shaw** *“'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.

If there's one thing I've always had right, it's not letting anyone chip away at my confidence by body shaming me or amplifying my weaknesses
Good to know that you are not affected by that matter.
Well, I'm also insecure to speak in public and also because of having a flat nose. I'm so insecure about my nose back then but even if some of my friends make fun of it, I'll just laugh along with them. 😂 I'm a Filipino, so I can't help it.
Laughing your flaws is a way of accepting it.
Exactly. And I realized that I wouldn't look good in a tall, inclined and flawless nose like my friends. 🤣
*insecure sad ko anang mag public speaking. Wala pa gani ko ka start, nangurog na akong mga tuhod, haisst*
Hahaha same ang dughan ga buto buto na.
*Lagi ba, grabe kakusog sa buto buto sa dughan. Mamuti pa jud ang lips sa kakulba, haha*

Labaw na guro ug daghan kaayo tawo sa atubangan, ang dughan ga lanog² na.
Makuyapan najud ko ahhaha
I also have lots of insecurities, murag halos tanan part sa akong body haha, but we should embrace and accept it because that what makes us who we are
True ate Jinifer, we should embrace our flaws.
Nobody is perfect. Even yung mga kilalang celebrities eh may mga imperfections din yan. Gumanda lang yan dahil kay Belo eh hahaha.. Love ourselves, accept what and who we are. Pak ganern! Seryoso, ako eh ibang iba ang itsura sa amin magkapatid, ako lang din ang maitim kaya inaasar ako na ampon dati eh. Pero okay lang tanggap ko na exotic beauty ako, hehe.
Acceptance is the key ate. Tumpak!
I couldn't agree more.
It can be tiring and will make one lose his/her confidence
If we let ourselves affected on what others telling on us.
Pretty same things that I am insecured about too but I'm only insecure if someone would brought it up. Other than that, I love myself and I do what I can to improve myself. It is just sometimes, I got too affected by what people say.
Sometimes kasi ate we can't avoid to be affected but by the end of the day we learned to accept it.
I remember my childhood days in you. I used to have that very dark skin before because I always stay at the shore, even when it's noon time. I loved to swim in the ocean too. My friends even called me "oling" lol . I was hurt because I was still a kid and kids don't like being bullied. But as I grow up, I learned to pamper myself and now I can say I am better than before and very much confident even with flaws.
Good to know ate that we both overcome that , Indeed, Acceptance is the key.
I also have insecurities bunso, as i have so many flaws but I think I don't mind them anymore. I have already accepted that this is i am, this is my body, this is my height and this is me, so I am perfect.
Acceptance talaga ate, at wala namang mawawala pag ina accept natin.
We all have insecurities. Mine is I have dark knees. I do not often wear shorts because of it. I cannot control people that might notice it but what I can do is to look for creams to whiten in. Yes, being confident will make you free!
Indeed, Confidence will set us free.
Aguyy pinaka insecure jud nko ng reportings ba pero no choice jud ta ky nag eskwla mn ta diba dong hehehe.. Dawat dawat na lng ta.
Mao jud ate, dili man jud malikayan. Maong maningkamot nalang jud.
