There's no real way for us to know how other people are perceiving us so I think it's hard to look at our own work with that outside look.
One of my goals for this year was to start pitching to brands but so far I've been too timid, I need to work on this too.
Brands would be lucky to work with you Melina, your posts are always so thoughtful, genuine and as you said, well written! I love reading your blog and I'm sure brands will see how much work you put into it.

I think it all comes down to lack of belief in ourselves. Deep down, we don’t believe we are good enough for that job or for that opportunity and that makes it hard for us to sell ourself but can also lead us to miss so many amazing opportunities! xx

Omg, thank you so so so much. You always right the most amazing comments that literally make me so happy! I'm sorry to hear you can relate to this! I don't know you in your "real life", but I know from your blog that you are an amazing person with so many amazing qualities. Your blog is definitely one of my favorites, and you should definitely take pride in the blog that you have created! You should be so proud of yourself, and not be afraid to sell yourself, because you are a wonderful person with a great blog πŸ™‚ xxx

I always have the hardest time selling myself just as well, whether it's in a blogging, or a real life opportunity. I am always afraid to come off as bragging, and I always feel like I am not enough compared to other bloggers out there. It is a silly feeling though, because we all are there, doing this and we all are unique in our own way. I personally find you always so authentic in your blog posts and, like you've written it here, you're right: I feel like I'm casually having a conversation with a close friend when I read your posts and your thoughts on these topics and that's definitely something you should and can perfectly "sell". Keep on being yourself, Melina, and trust yourself, I know how hard this can be sometimes, but you have and will keep on getting incredible opportunities, I am certain of it, because you work hard and you're genuine and you deserve them all <3 Keep on going, you're amazing <3

And YOU are enough! As a content creator it is something I think most if not all of us struggle with. I know I definitely do. Perhaps it is insecurities, but I also find the people (and this might sound conceited) that have the most doubts, are the ones who SHOULD be selling themselves because they are the most authentic and knowledgable. You are amazing beauty and you deserve all the success! Keep doing you! <3
