I don't actually know if you go through your messages, or reply to all of them but I thought I would give it a try. I remember reading your article in Figure magazine, and thought, "Wow, she really DOES accept who she is." It amazes me, and practically everyday I find myself wishing I had the confidence you do. But, as things turn out... I don't. Have you ever felt like you were being overshadowed, or pushed to the background by your friends or family? I constantly feel like that, and I've found I bury myself into this hole. I'm TIRED of feeling like I'm worthless, and I'm TIRED of feeling like I'm never good enough. I HATE having such a high then dropping to an all time low. I know you've said you don't really know how you have the confidence you do, but I don't know, you're a big role model for me and I was just wondering if you've ever had this type of problem.

Thanks for being such a great person, and role model!

Hilary

Well, this has to start from within... You kind of need a reason... Like when I was younger and I was in a bad place, I thought of my little sister and how sad her face would be if anything bad happened to me. You need to find your reason, learn to let go and live your life the best you can. And screw what others think. If you feel like you are being pushed into the shadows by others then maybe its your confidence thats keeping you back. Why on earth would a beautiful girl like yourself feel un-important? You seem like you have so much to offer people. And if the people around you dont appreciate you then find new people who do!!!
