That's one of my crazy animal hats. I started buying them about half a year ago when I discovered them but you're probably wondering what in the hell these hats have to do with confidence.

| Ugly Sweater Party Yaaay! |
Well it's simple really, I've always been extremely reserved and introverted in terms of personality, style etc. and I had an, well I guess you could call it an epiphany, early 2011. I realized that I wasn't truly happy, yes I was happy, but I was always doing things that I thought others wanted me to do. It's kind've funny when you realize it because we seem to value uniqueness and individuality but as soon as someone does something unexpected we tend to criticize and devalue the person and as such we become afraid of being silly, of being different or, dare I say it, weird.
I decided to stop being so concerned with others views of me and just do what I wanted to do. This tied in perfectly to my hats because I've always loved crazy things like this but was always so concerned with what others thought that I never wore/bought any.
With my newborn confidence I was able to finally wear what I wanted to without caring about the thoughts of others. Every time I wear one of my hats or buy another it reminds me that the only thing that matters is what I think of myself.
