To walk the runway, to be seen in covers of magazines, commercials, social events and more.
I'd like to think that I long for the fame and popularity (yes, I know, it seems kinda shallow and very "showbiz-like" haha) but most of all, I wanted to be able to have that confidence that a model exudes. :)
Luckily, even though I was born chubby and grew chubbier as I became older, my body didn't really become a big deal for me. Well, maybe it did, but only a little (maybe that was the reason why I didn't really think of dieting, (seriously dieting) until about 8 months ago. But moving along, I really wasn't the type of person to hide in the back just because I was fat. Maybe the inner model in me shone through. Or.. maybe because I was raised well by my parents and the people around me didn't make me feel like I wasn't allowed to be a "star" just because of my body. And I thank them very much for that.
As i was growing up, my confidence also grew. I joined dance performances during our intramurals in high school, wore anything I wanted to and surprisingly, it looked good on me, as the people around me have said. :) I also joined dance contests in my current work, did hosting stints and some comedy acts. In short, I had confidence. Then I realized, confidence was what defined yourself. In this world, social and real world, confidence and belief in yourself is what one really needs to be able to stand out. And I am thankful for that.
I know that one day, I shall become a model and a fashion icon.
All it takes is CONFIDENCE. ;)
