Welcome to my ted talk:

insecurity to me is the most disastrous chapter in everyone’s book. Mine sulked in the corner of my brain brooding: “Will my acne decide to take a vacation away from my skin forever? Will my coffee colored eyes ever be as mesmerizing if they mimicked the sky?” That type of insecurity ate my dignity.

Thank you for listening.
