I don't join a lot of contests but this one is different. It really got to me that you are giving away your curie prize. Bless your heart for sharing your blessings. Well, I hope I'm not too late in joining.

I'm so glad to see @beeyou hearing the appreciative words she deserves! Obviously, I couldn't agree more. I can't even imagine how different my experience would have been on here if it hadn't been for her seeing my #introduceyourself post by chance.
As for comparing yourself to others/being self conscious, I feel you 100%. It's damn near impossible not to do it, and there's literally no way that you can ever be the BEST at something (unless you're an Olympic champion, in which case there is probably still some undiscovered talent somewhere that didn't make it to the Olympics and is better than you at what you do). Besides, how can you really be the best at something so subjective? But there's plenty of room in this world for talent in all shapes and sizes, and an endless supply of readers here who would appreciate what you do. I am hard on myself too, and it's only recently (and really, with the help of this site) that I've felt comfortable enough to let it free where other people can see it, and that I've felt comfortable with saying, "hey, I might actually be good at this." I had just gotten so used to putting myself down and thinking I wasn't artistically talented in any way.
Awesome cheerleading spirit! You both are talented so don’t let anyone tell you guys differently.
You truly are a sweetie. So many of you on here are just the best! 😊
That's true. Someone is always better. And if we keep comparing ourselves to them, we'll end up with lower self-confidence. But it's really difficult not to. I guess all we can do is be the best we can be and believe in ourselves. Good thing there are amazing people and communities on this site who go out of their way to support newbies.
Thank you for sharing your insights. It helped me view things on another perspective. :)
Perseverance is a great quality, one that I guess you're building up given that you're raising a toddler, haha - slow and steady wins the race
Good luck and all the best!
lol. you're right. It is a great quality because it's extra hard when there is a small person who is always pinching and pinching my armpit every time I'm on Steemit. haha
