Don't be afraid to be who you are. I was crippled with depression and anxiety for years and my low self-esteem kept me from writing this Memoir. Still does cripple me but not as bad. I was so afraid to let people see the real me, but I have a story to tell that if it only helps one woman than I did my job. Don't let other peoples opinions scare you into not being yourself or not doing something you want to do. If your loved ones don't believe in you, believe in yourself. Have the courage to just live your life for you, nobody else. This is your life and you need to be true to yourself and love yourself. So what if people talk or tell you they don't believe you can. Know yourself and do what your passion is with no regrets or fear. Let people talk. Your better than that. Just keep going and never give up. Be easy on yourself and love who you are with no need to explain.
