#the10yearchallenge

I decided to hop on the #thetenyearchallenge train. This is from #2009vs2019 ; Not a lot has changed appearance-wise. Honestly the biggest difference, if not the only real one, has been my confidence. I used to hide under a hat and a hoodie, any time I was in public. Even in my own home. You couldn’t find me without a hat. I figured I could hide and stop being the center of attention due to my height and the fact that no one could tell if I was a boy or a girl and it always made things awkward. Eventually I stopped giving a fuck about peoples confusion and their judgement, and I found what gave me self-confidence. I found a way to live with the fact that I’m different. Live with the fact that I’m me. And I never let my illnesses, or peoples judgements, effect how I present myself ever again. I found courage to be me. Now, I pray and hope that if any of you are suffering from a lack of confidence, that you one day find the confidence I have found. And you learn to embrace it Always remember to live authentically and happily. Always be you and be proud to be yourself. 💯 Anyway, enjoy this? ❤️🤷🏼‍♂️👌🏻

#The10YearChallenge I hate having photo's taken of me but looking through all my photos through the years there isn't that many of just me on my own so this was a difficult one but I rose to the challenge and here we go. >> >> >> So here's me enjoying our works christmas night out on the left, having a good time. Well you would think by the smile on my face, but I don't enjoy social events and the getting ready for it, I could just enjoy a night in with a book and a drink in my PJ's (OMG I think i'm getting old :-) ) >> >> >> The one on the right is me now, well I have had to go through alot over the past 10 years and it has taken its toll on me, the yo yoing of weight loss and gain, the injurys and also going through with chronic pain, this is just after dislocating my shoulder on Christmas eve. >> >> Heres to the next 10 years and goals to set to change lifestyle and everything. #BeKindToYourself #LiveYourBestLife #SelfCareIsAThing #SelfCare #BeMorePositive #chronicpain https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs0lSA2Hv0e/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hwe3p6rz0q36
