No holding back!<\/p>\n<p>I have been hiding my true self for a long time.\u00a0Most of my life even. It all came down to feeling not worthy enough.<\/p>\n<p>Not pretty enough<br \/>\nNot funny enough<br \/>\nNot smart enough<br \/>\nNot skinny enough<br \/>\nNot athletich enough<\/p>\n<p>Hell&#8230;. sometimes even too smart in highschool. &#8216;Cause being smart wasn&#8217;t going to make me popular. The exact opposite even!Looking back on my life, I realized that most of these so called beliefs were created in my childhood.\u00a0Feeling unwanted, not popular, if that&#8217;s what you want to call it.<\/p>\n<p>And most of it was based on the way OTHER people treated me. Not based on how I felt deep down inside.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I wore glasses. Yes, later on I had braces too. Yes, my hair was super frizzy. Yes, I wasn&#8217;t super fashionable. Yes, I wasn&#8217;t athletic. Yes, I even wasn&#8217;t &#8220;voluptuous&#8221; as some other girls were at early adolescence. And I got picked on for that. For all of that!<\/p>\n<p>It even started back in elementary school, when I first had to wear glasses.\u00a0Instantly the whole dynamic seemed to change in the class.\u00a0I really hated waring my glasses, because the other kids just didn&#8217;t like me anymore.\u00a0Refused to play with me even.Now I see that ALL of this actually shaped me. Made me belief that I wasn&#8217;t worth it.<\/p>\n<p>That, if I wore glasses, people would not like me anymore. Wouldn&#8217;t even speak to me anymore.<\/p>\n<p>I honestly believed that the whole world was soley based on the way you look.<br \/>\n&#8220;Look good, then you&#8217;ll be succesful&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"299\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/larissadenenting.com\/nl\/2017\/09\/22\/dare-to-be-you\/f56a5e55cba64e70b4a557444fc616ca\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/larissadenenting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/f56a5e55cba64e70b4a557444fc616ca1.jpg?fit=1000%2C341&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1000,341\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"f56a5e55cba64e70b4a557444fc616ca\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/larissadenenting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/f56a5e55cba64e70b4a557444fc616ca1.jpg?fit=825%2C281&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-299\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/larissadenenting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/f56a5e55cba64e70b4a557444fc616ca1.jpg?resize=825%2C281&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"f56a5e55cba64e70b4a557444fc616ca\" width=\"825\" height=\"281\" \/>So I started working on my outer beauty.
