Inside the “Confidence” issue we offer suggestions for growing your self confidence, understanding why you feel envy and jealousy towards others and learning how to get over those feelings, and ideas for focusing on loving and celebrating your own awesome self.

I wanted to be a model when I was young, but at five feet and four inches in height and lacking any standout physical attributes, my modeling dreams amounted to a silly fantasy. When I was sixteen and seventeen, I used to walk around New York with a large album of photos that I would tell people was my modeling portfolio. They all would look at me like I was pathetic. I’ve been pretend modeling since I was a teenager. It is through pretend modeling that I learned to see myself through my own eyes and to appreciate and understand myself and have compassion and love for myself. No one is ever going to put me on a magazine cover so I’ve created my own magazine.
