Insecure pt. 1

She said

You can't know what I've done

You can't go where I'm from

Your lips can lie

But your eyes can't hide you're too young

You're too young

How I adore our love would be so true

I just wish you knew

I'd be all yours if my mind didn't wander, I've got scars

From a life before you

Please don't think I'm insecure

I just can't trust no one else

Please don't think I'm insecure

I just feel safe by myself...

Brent Faiyaz - Insecure

When was the last time you had an one on one talk to yourself. I'm talking about your real self. That self that you doesn't show to anyone else. The one where your insecurities lies... I had this talk recently and boy what a conversation it was. Everyone sees the Tristan that is always talkative, life of the party, the smart ass comedian but then there's the Tristan that I doesn't show to anyone. The Tristan who doesn't think he is smart enough, good looking and good enough. He comes out sometimes and when he does I must have a sit down. I hate when I have them but they are needed. Being able to be 💯 real with myself helps me make my insecurities my strengths in time. But I had to learn to face them. Not be scared of them but use them as fuel to keep going. I can not love Tristan without dealing with my insecurities. 

Just like the young lady in the song I allowed my insecurities stop me from doing things. Not anymore. I embrace them. But we shouldn't allow them to stop us. Live life....one day at time. 

#FoodForThought Try taking some time to deal with your insecurities that are stopping you....Don't allow them to stop you anymore...
