    Going to university for the first time this Fall. I pray I can make new friends that I can be close with, be strong through adversity, have finances in check, see clarity, and maintain faith through it all as I enter into a new chapter. I tend to look at other people and compare myself to how other people are smarter/better/ prettier//braver than me in some way…instead of looking at how I can better myself? I don’t know the right way to put it…but I just always have this feeling like others are just more capable of doing incredible things than me. :( I understand, there’s more than meets the eye to everyone…I’m just always so insecure with who I am. I want to be brave…and believe in myself. How?

    Mood : Worried
    • I’m sure your time at university will go well @pandagirl96, always be kind to yourself Jozy, you are a beautiful and special person who is perfect in every single way, don’t feel down about who you are, embrace and love every part of you Jozy, smile because you are a ray of sunshine that will always be bright and spectacular, inbox me anytime if you want to chat or vent Jozy, stay strong, you are never alone :) <3 (hugs)

    • My advice is don’t compare yourself. I’ve done that and started uni in the wrong foot (In fact I had to re-enter this year). Remember, you’re there to study and you’re in a way in competition with other students. Focous on your studies alot. When it comes to friends, you’ll meet fantastic people and many fake ones, so pay attention.
      But no matter what you should be excited about it :) very happy for you that you’re going to that new chapter in your life

    • I feel the same way at times… it’s not a good feeling. I think that when you focus on how everyone seems better than you, it makes you think that you can’t do anything… the best things to do is take things slow and embrace yourself as you grow… focus on yourself and your happiness. When I went out to college, there was a girl who I thought was so talented, I was amazed and in awe of her and it just made me feel like trash compared to her… I was so lost for so long… it’s not good to always be looking at others that much, it’s better to focus on self and improving the self and embracing and having unconditional love for the self. I wish I had proper support growing up. I wish BlahTherapy existed years ago but unfortunately it didn’t exist so I was always lost to figure things out on my own.

    • @spectrolite7 It most definitely is a ”not so great” feeling. Taking it slow and embracing myself in growing is hard to do since Im so insecure with myself most times, but focusing on my own joys in life and little things around me that make life worthwhile helps :) it does. I feel the same way as you. When i looked everywhere in my college they all looked so smart/talented/gifted/ clear directions of where to go etc etc… that it makes me feel lost within me. That ”unconditional self love”’ is something Im tryna to help myself in doing everyday, though it can be hard, I constantly have to remind myself that everyone has their own unique path, mine just is blooming differently who knows what’ll happen. I’m a huge fan of Thats So Raven and when she looks to the future as a psychic Im like ”WOAHHHH i wish i could see my future self or something about the future??” It’s just the journey to get to our goals makes life worthwhile at the end of the day. Aw, everyone deserves support in their lives. Even you! :) I’m glad Blahtherapy exists , so I could come across meeting online people like yourself! I appreciate your comment!

    • @pandagirl96 I’m glad I was able to help and allow you to see you’re not alone. Everyone definitely has their own unique path and it’s important to know that you’re special and to be gentle with yourself and your path.
