Missing: Confidence.

I'm an introvert when facing people older than me or to those who I'm not close with or, people that I'm not comfortable to mingle.

Earlier this morning, we had our Literature subject at school. The teacher asked us to say something creative. She started to give us some guide questions for us to say something. At first, I was really ready for my speech. I've already thought what of what I was going to say. She already called 2 students. The second student cannot say something because he wasn't listening. Sleeping, perhaps. So she told him to seat and think with his speech. My name "Divina" has got out of her mouth. Okaaay. I didn't expect that she was going to call me for there are so many students in our class. I stood up in front of the class. Suddenly, I had a mental block (thanks to NiƱa for the word. haha!). I said nothing for seconds, thinking of what am I going to say infront of the class.
I live in (insert place here), a place wherein MetroAides are sweeping the streets all day. A quiet place, actually. My house is in front of (insert landmark here).

I said those lines for a couple of times because my voice was too soft, they can barely hear it. Well, I was really nervous at that time. I sat down after my nerve-racking speech. And I've come to realize that I do have lack in confidence. I have my insecurities, like, my petite voice, my fat ass figure, and a lot more. These insecurities I have are eating my self up for years and I don't know how I am going to do with it. :|
