Nov With her beauty and honesty, Hayet has garnered a large following by sharing her journey to becoming the confident woman she is today. At a young age, many young girls begin to cover up and think that their body or intelligence is something to hide.
When did you first learn shame? Everyone did it with their eyes. When I was younger, I went through a phase where I was probably as confident as I am now.
My friends would wear backless tops and I would, too. But I soon realized that we would get two types of looksβone reserved for them and one for me. So at that age, I began to develop shame about certain parts of myself just based on how people looked at me. On your blog, you flaunt your curves with confidence. When did you begin to care less about what others thought? The beginning of this year. I went through a quarter-life crisis where I had a period of trying to find myself.
I am myself. No need to look for her. I started to accept myself exactly how I was. For so long in my life, my actions were dictated by how I wanted other people to feel about me, but I have started acting based on how I feel.
The first gaze we often look to is our parents. How supportive were your parents in letting you be you? I went through a phase when I was growing up where I wanted to be fully covered and wear baggy clothes.
