"Insecurities are about as useful as trying to put the pin back in the grenade"

LC: My entire adolescent and teenage life, I was very self conscious about my appearance which lead me to hang my head low, afraid of meeting the eyes of someone who would see my deeply rooted issues. It proved a difficult task to walk with my chin up and face the oncoming world when I had such fierce self esteem issues. With time, that self consciousness faded and my self esteem flourished. But what remained was my nasty habit of looking down. Old habits die hard. After a while, I gave up on trying to figure out how, with all my self progression, I still was not facing the world head on. I realized that, perpendicular or parallel to the floor, a person's head held either way is not indicative of their confidence. It just is what it is. With that, I've created this photo blog rightfully named Looking Down With Confidence. It is a birds' eye view of what I see when I look in a direction I am simply accustomed to looking. It's a tale of someone who is going confidently in the direction of her dreams; someone who is shooting for the stars not by looking up at them but by looking down at the invisible arrows guiding her.
