One step at a time x Guts and Glory

Forget insecurities and boost your confidence one step at a time.

One step at a time.
Yes.
Just like Jordin Sparks.

My first step?
Dared myself to wear short shorts and sleeveless in public.

It was heartthumpin' and gut-turning at first but I managed to survive the day. It was awkward when someone looks at you though. What's more if they don't just look at you from head to toe but also from the toe and back to your head (do you even get what I'm trying to say here?).

Three persons told me I was pretty today :""'> It pretty much boosted up my confidence sky high.

My mom prefers me toothily smiling in photos. I don't like toothy smiles in my photos that much because I tend to lose my eyes (!) and give away the shape of my face.

During one of our conversations when I was trying to pick which prom picture was better to use as my profile picture:
Me: Mom, which picture is better? This one or this one? (*I was not smiling toothily in both pictures)
Mom: None. I don't like them.
Mom: You should pick the picture with your toothy smile. I did get you braces so that you won't get embarrassed to smile toothily... *sends me the link*

What I thought when I saw the picture:
I look horrible there! Unkempt hair and greasy face. NO WAY

Oh, hello there smooth armpits!

I tried threading for the first time! I thought it would hurt because my classmates who've tried threading told me it hurt a little but it actually felt like somethings rubbing on your skin. And the next thing you'll know, you're done. It did not even take 5 minutes for both armpits! (You'll feel a little unsatisfied because it was fast and would seem as if your money was gone in a blink of an eye)

In my opinion, threading is a lot better than waxing because with waxing, you won't be able to get all the auxilliary hairs especially the really small ones. I, for one, often gets annoyed when I see small hairs poking out.

Bought new strings & a tuner (finally!).

My old strings gave up on me last night T_T. They just snapped off while I was in the middle of trying to tune my guitar by ear and by youtube tutorials.

I tried changing my guitar strings for the first time *huffs chest*. I'm still trying to get my tuning right tho because I think that the tuning of my guitar is wrong even though the tuner says it's already in the right tune.

It's either that or I'm just used to off-tuned guitars.
