Do I feel like I still need to prove myself? Absolutely. And I want to feel that way, and I like that.

I am convinced now that virtually every destructive behavior and addiction I battled off and on for years was rooted in my (well-earned) insecurity.

I was so adamant about proving myself for so long and I've gotten to the point where I don't have to do that as much.

I have a lot of insecurities, but you learn from your failures.

I just feel like I have a lot to prove.

I discovered that my insecurities and my flaws were things that I actually need to embrace, and I let them become my superpowers.

I had that thing of wanting to prove I was a tough kid.

I think that I was being much more uptight about those things before. I feel like I really don't have to prove anything at this point other than what I'm doing.

I'm now so keenly aware that I have everything to prove and nothing to lose.
