Let me know if you can figure out what song this came from :D

Don't worry, I'm not depressed, but I think insecurity is something that everyone in the world can relate to.

When I first started to post photos of myself without my shirt off, I really think it was just because I wanted to hear someone say something nice about the way I look. Not sure if it was because I wasn't sure of it myself, or it just felt good to have people say nice things about you.

Either way, the point is, you don't need to have people compliment you every moment of your day to know that you are a great person with a lot of wonderful qualities that are a blessing in people's day to day lives. And if people say that to you, don't take it as a way of them trying to cheer you up and make you feel better. They say those things because they mean them!

Hope this can speak to someone out there :)

Dammit Kyle, you beat me. I was going to say Creep!! :p

This is cool Keith. I love how the piece itself is about insecurity, yet your intent and artist's comments exude such confidence. I think even the most confident of us still have these feelings, to feel like we aren't that great person we want to be and sometimes actually are. I tend to love how I look and who I am for the most part, but at the same time I still have thoughts drift in and out that there are things I need to improve or want to change. We all have insecurities, but it's how they affect us and what attitude we take that really makes us who we are!

I guess I don't need to tell you that you are an amazing guy Keith, but I will anyways :]

I for sure feel some Creep by Radiohead here. I was also thinking Wish You Were Here too because you have WISH along the side and YOU WERE around the middle bottom and the song definately deals with seperation insecurity. I like how each phrase is both disconnected yet part of the whole. I think it's a totally awesome portrayal of insecure thoughts drifting through the mind.

First of all I wanted to say "good for you" for realizing that you are a great person regardless of what others may say or not say! Believing in yourself takes a lot of courage and strength sometimes, but so worth it!

Second, I think you did an awesome job with this piece. I love the lighting, the color and the contrast! I can't figure out what song this came from, but I like the layout of the wording.

Overall, awesome job - this really caught my eye! :thumbsup:

It just baffles me how people can take the opinion of just this one idea that someone might not like the way someone looks, even when there are tons more people that think the opposite. I used to have a hard time talking to girls based on what they look like and at some point I just realized, if someone is not going to talk to me based on how I look, or how it will look if they're talking to me, they're living a pretty sad life lol.

Oh and here's a hint, it's a 90s alternative rock band that kind of changed their style and progressed into more of an eletronic style and they're still one of the most popular bands today :D
