This is going to be kind of long, I hope you read it all the way through 😊 I'm going to tell you a story of something I did along time ago that helped shape me into what I am now. When I was in the mall with my bros when I was 15, We saw a group of beautiful young women..me and mybuddies were trying to figured out who would go talk to them. my boi dared me to go , so I said " ok ,bet". I was nervous at first but said fu*k it. I walked up, they all stared at me.. some smiling, then I said how yall doing ? I'm ...................(I got completely stuck). I tried everything to get it out ,didn't work. They laughed at me and called me names. So I walked off 😂 Now you'd think I'd be embarrassed but I wasn't, I was proud of myself , because I was the only one to walk up to this group of beautiful women , solo, and shoot my shot, even with an impediment. Life is hard, and we have a disadvantage thats for all to see, we can't hide it, so embrace that shit. Do your best , confidence comes from within.
