For me, it has to do with my faith. As you get older and grow you learn not only things about your faith, but also things about yourself. I believe everything happens for a reason and God doesn't make mistakes. When God created me, he created me in the image that was appealing to Him. So, every imperfection and every detail about me was done because He wanted me to be that way. If God wanted me to have green eyes he would've given me green eyes. If he wanted me to have longer hair he would've given me longer hair. If my imperfections are good enough for Him, why can't my imperfections be good enough for me?
I understand the influence the media has, peer pressure and things of that nature. I've been told I was never and would never be pretty enough. It took me a long time, but I've learned no matter how pretty I was or how smart I was, I would never be enough for some people. I'm learning to accept myself for who I am, what I am, and what I look like. As long as I like who I am, everything will be alright. If I don't like the way I look physically, I'll hit the gym and change it.
As far as insecurities go, they'll always be there. Everyone second guesses themselves every now and again. We're human. No one is perfect. I think you just have to learn to accept who and what you are.

I think the only time we as people are insecure Is when we feel someone else, has or Is something better than us. Security Is being aware of the greatness around you, but being confident enough to know what you got Is great in It's own way. It's not something that has a one, two step process to achieving, It's something every individual has to figure out how to do on they're own.
