What’s wrong with being confident?

– Demi Lovato, “Confident”

Trying to figure out why I’m not very confident in myself and who I am. I’m a pretty badass person if I think about it. Yet I still struggle with depression and feeling worthless and not valuable when I’m not working. I tie my worth to my job and as wrong as I know that is, I don’t know how to separate my worth from my career.

A lot of things matter: my kids, my husband, my family, my friends. And yet, I’m still here struggling over my purpose and why I’m here and what the whole point of my existence is. It’s hard to accept that I’m just a cog in the wheel of this big world. Especially when I look at people like Beyoncé, Rihanna, and even Michelle Obama, it’s like, how am I impacting this world for good? They can do it on this massive global scale. And I can’t even do it on a local scale.
