Don't mess with my Sparkle...

I consider myself a confident person.

Growing up Dominican, you build up your confidence from the womb, because you're criticized left & right by the people you love MOST. 

"Constructive Criticism" 
They would say... 
::insert eye roll::

Any who...

We all have moments of insecurities, those that 60% of the time are created in our minds, based on society norms & standards.

BUT

then you have those 40% moments. where your confidence fluctuates based on the actions of someone else. Where what you feel about yourself is hindered by what someone else has to say about you. Those moments when you take a step back and you're like "pero coño, WTF is wrong with ME" 

We ALL have those moments, and whoever says they don't is lying... ::insert viral why you lying video::. That moment when you're not picked first for the school play, that moment when you didn't get the first invite to the party..

that moment when...
you just weren't "picked"...

I had one of those moments recently, where my ego was hurt... where for a second I questioned myself. that moment that you're like damn bruhhh I must be doing something wrong in life...

Completely went in on myself. (we are always our own worst critic)..

Went on a whatsapp rant with one of my dearest & nearest... simply to be woken up & snapped back to reality...

BITCH...You Sparkle...
(ok maybe I wasn't told in those words lol, please note most of my friends are guys & not gay ones, so they would never tell me I sparkle) 

BUT... I was reminded that I am indeed the shit, simply that I have a poor judgement of character, or simply an obsession of seeing the beauty in everything and everyone. That life is not a professional sport in which the best people are drafted. That shit just happens or it doesn't and 85% of the time it has nothing to do with who you are, or what you do or don't do.

That you shouldn't judge people on the decisions they make, just like you shouldn't judge yourself based on their decision...

That sometimes, not being picked... is the best thing that could have happened to you...

xoxo
Signs the girl that sparkles...
