I Have a Fear

I teach my girls all the time on being confident and never letting others opinions of you pull you under the waves until you find yourself drowning. I thought I was a very confident woman, I used to be okay with my body image and the way I looked. That was until I joined SW a while back and decided to use my picture as my profile image, only to be told by a total stranger oneday that I was ugly. Of course I didn't respond but when I went offline his words started to work on me. Then I knew that I was not only lacking in self confidence but I was not strong enough to fight off negative opinions. You may say why does it matter what a stranger blurted out to you? Do you know that even a stranger can bring out fears in you that you never knew existed? I know, because I've gone through it. I still hear those words echoing in my head somedays when I look in the mirror to brush my hair.
