"Be yourself, by yourself- away from me."

Greetings to all who take time to read my ramblings, I honor your courage. ^_^ I know I haven't posted in what seems like forever- so I'd like by bringing you up to date.

The following events have occured lately:

*Got a boyfriend... amazing. >_<

*Registered for High School

*Found myself

*Recently gave a graduation speech... =^_^=

Well, that's basically what's happened since I last wrote... if you want to know all of my thoughts in between my last post and now, go to my Twitter at: http://twitter.com/i_heart_wicca

Anyways- the topic for today is: confidence. Yes, a very serious yet random topic, but it's my blog so shush it! >_<

To begin, I'd like to give two definitions. One comes from WebsterWebster: The state of being certain. If one were to follow this definition literally, they would surely believe that they have to know all the answers in life to be ''certain''. But as the human interpretation shows- that's not the context we use. Society takes the word confidence and transforms it into several acts. You knowthe current one? Swag. Like Swagger. Quite similar actually, for "swag" is referred to as "to conduct oneself in an arrogant manner or walk with overbearing self-confidence". Now today, we use "confidence" and "swagger" in the same context because we believe they are similar. If they are so similar, then it's apparent that "confidence" is the state of arrogance as well as being certain? So tell me, are you confident? Do you have your own swag? That's obviously debatable.

If you have any thoughts on today's topic... let me know! I'd love to hear from you! ^_^
