My 3 steps to better self-confidence 1- work on yourself 2- eat healthy, drink a lot of water and have a good sleep 3- Read the book Womens magic truths on borlest I'm very surprised how few people know about this book when my friend recommended it to me it took me 1 day just to read it and I was blown away it's the best thing I've read lately My self-confidence has increased to the maximum
These are great tips. I've never read that book before. I'll have to check it out. Tip number 2 is so helpful to feeling your best everyday. What are things you do to make yourself better?
Your point about the happiest people being the most willing to share just really hit me. It’s so true that self-loathing people have a scarcity mindset, are super competitive, and feel crappy when they see others’ good fortune. Speaking from experience here, lol. And the victim mentality folds right in. Thanks for sharing this video!!
Anytime I’ve compared myself to others, I’ve felt less than. Until I realized that the only person I should compare myself to, is the person I was yesterday. No matter what you compare, you will always find someone richer, better looking than you, has a nicer car, has a better (fill in the blanks). And it's totally pointless. When I began focusing on the idea of going to bed better than I woke up, basically making sure that throughout day I do things that make a better version than the one who woke up that morning, then life really began to change for me. Focus on you and your own progress. Run your own marathon!
Your point about boundaries with partners is so true. Recently ended a relationship when a man crossed a boundary a few times. I finally said hey, enough, stop it. Period. He got all bent out of shape. I told him if he can't respect what is clearly a line for me, then I'm moving on. And yes, I was prepared for the relationship to end, which it did. It didn't kill me. It simply reinforced what I will accept and NOT accept in a relationship.
I’m I not in 😢 Play with the your friends in on your a the phone own game and in on then it their cousins in are your home and your you so they I are don't 😅
1)KEEP A PROMISE, BUILD SO MUCH CONFIDENCE Example: Saving $15,000 a year will make you feel more confident and help you stick to your word. Choose one thing that you will commit to for three weeks, such as writing down three things you are grateful for in the morning or doing workouts. 2)GET TO KNOW YOURSELF Start journaling to explore your thoughts and feelings. Make a long list of activities or experiences and try them out. Afterward, write down why you liked or didn't like each one, considering various factors. 3)WRITE THREE DIFFERENT LISTS Reflect on your past successes and contributions. Identify and acknowledge your strengths. Recognize your potentials and areas where you have room to grow. 4)ACTIVELY CREATE A POSITIVE OUTLOOK Embrace a positive mindset and believe that good things happen to you. Practice gratitude by focusing on the little things that bring you joy, even on difficult days. Make a conscious effort to minimize complaints and instead focus on the positive. It takes practice, just like building a muscle. 5)STOP BEING A VICTIM Practice resilience and acknowledge that while certain things may have happened to you and sucked, you are determined to move forward and not let them limit your life. 6)HOW YOU APPEAR TO THE WORLD Pay attention to your posture and maintain good posture. Slow down your pace, whether it's walking or talking. Practice entering a room by looking around slowly before proceeding in your intended direction. When asking uncomfortable questions, speak slowly and confidently, without feeling obligated to answer if it makes you uncomfortable. Slowing down will make you appear more confident. 7)GET TO KNOW YOUR NEEDS Be confident in expressing your needs to others. For example, say, "I need you to hold me because I'm feeling really sad," or "I need you to pay a little more attention to me because I'm feeling off today." 8)ACTIVELY IDENTIFY WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, EVEN IN SMALL WAYS Imagine your perfect working environment, friendships, or relationships, and write about them in a journal. Allow yourself to dream and have fun envisioning your ideal future. 9)CREATE STRONG BOUNDARIES Recognize that valuable things are not easily obtained by everyone, just like exclusive brands like Hermes. Seek high-value and amazing friends, as this is your sacred space that you don't want to compromise. Communicate your boundaries clearly, especially with men, and be prompt and assertive. For example, say, "I don't like it when you do XYZ because it's disrespectful." Stick to your boundaries as only you can uphold them. 10) ASK YOURSELF WHAT SOMEONE WHO LOVES THEMSELVES WOULD DO Trust your intuition and honor the first answer that comes to mind. 11) FOLLOW YOUR HAPPINESS and pursue the things that bring you joy and fulfillment.
Saving 15,000 a year LOL - Do you live on the planet Zob? Is there a shuttle to Zob in the near future, can we pick one up at a normal bus stop or will a Limo pop round to collect us?
Useful and meaningful tips! I’d like to add: be true to yourself. If you feel certain emotion, acknowledge it. Take responsibility for your actions and don’t cloud your words by saying something that you don’t mean or isn’t true. Be direct and open with oneself is one of the keys to be confident. Also, When we keep on dodging or escaping what is not favourable, our confidence shatters. Facing the problems is also important. I know it takes time to be confident, it doesn’t happen overnight. We all are imperfect and progress always holds an upper hand than perfection 😊
It is quite obvious & natural too that at some stage of your life you come across these things like feeling sad or a lack of confidence, especially after a big milestone accomplishment , feeling bored, loss of meaning or purpose in life,feeling unfulfilled,feelings of nostalgia, excessively thinking about the past, making impulse actions, feelings of regret. But as I have been closely following you through your vlogs, I strongly feel that you would surely over come your anxiety & so called midlife crisis thing.
Have you ever heard about the fact that self-trust is an unconcious core need? most of us people have the extreme concious feeling of wanting to control everything. Literally all the things that might happen. And since this problem overshadows our "unconcious" core need of self trust, we don't know how to become confident. If you for example want to be loved and appreciated and liked by everyone, your core need might be self-love. You get it? So if you want to stop the fears, overthinking, making up plans in your head and building self trust instead, make yourself small promises every day. And KEEP THEM.
My husband is a wonderful person, but he also has faults. I used to not know how to communicate my boundaries and sometimes in confrontation, he’d successfully overargue me. But I learned to be straightforward and I think I’m only straightforward now because I’ve learned to deal with the discomfort of unraveling my emotions-what is fact and what is fiction. I believe my confidence in communication derived from knowing what I was particularly feeling and where my emotions arose from. I believe confidence results from unconditional self compassion ❤😊
You're exactly who I need rn, THANK YOU! It's not tough love, it's genuine care and guidance and until you shatter your paradigm and your box of incapability, nothing changes! Best vibes, thank you aaaa
Some of the best advices! As a nurse, I have seen so many bad things happened to good people that I am over the victim mentality. I realized Life isn’t fair! Sometimes you just have to suck it up and keep going!
All these steps could decrease stress levels and probably contribute to higher happiness levels. Building (real) confidence is usually done through accomplishing difficult things. The more difficult goals you accomplish, the more confident you will be in yourself. When you know you can do something (or have the ability to learn something difficult), nobody can say anything to take that away from you…not even your partner, superiors, or family. You know you can prove them wrong. Now, that is true confidence.
I agree that accomplishing things you want increases confidence, but I think basing your entire confidence on achievements is a very masculine thing. I don’t think it would work as well for most women as it does for most men 😊 that’s just my opinion, but of course everyone should do whatever works best for them. Appreciate your feedback 👌🏼✨
My favorite thing about your channel is you give us Work to do! You don’t just sit there, and give advice, but you give actionable steps to take, and I love this about you!
I love how real and practical these tips are, thanks for sharing them! I disagree with tip number 10 about making you happiness your first priority. The harder we reach for happiness, the more it flees our grasp. So many philosophers, great thinkers, and just regular people as well have come to this conclusion. I know this is counter intuitive, but so many things in life work like this. I believe it works like this because so many times, what we think will make us happy is just something that gives us instant gratification but is not good for us in the long run, i.e. getting drunk frequently, watching movies/tv shows all day, eating junk food every day, etc. Instead, the things that we dread such as writing that essay, working out, being mindful of what we eat, etc, are the ones that really benefit us and will give us a happier life. I do agree with the rest of the tips tho, and I would love to read the opinions of others!
What I think it means to follow your happiness is to go for what truly makes you happy, not the instant gratification things that really make you feel like garbage after a little bit. But things like dancing drawing, watching the flowers, looking at the sunrise, stars, sunset, enjoying a picnic with loved ones, sitting by a fire, they make you truly happy, or whatever else flips your switch. The things like drinking, watching TV, and eating junk food do not really make you happy because you feel like trash as or after you do them.
i love how actionable these points are. i appreciate this video coming at the right time. i relate to these mindsets and i am taking action ✨ thank you!!!
You’re right about not being a victim. I learned this early on in my 20 ‘s people with a victim mentality can never take responsibility it’s always someone else’s fault.
Same here! I'm not even sure if other people who says "Just be Confident or Love Yourself" know what do they really mean. I'm so happy to come across to your video! You really took time to analyze and understand how to convey the message properly. I will definitly get back to this video whenever I feel I lost track with my confidence hihi. Thank you. A new sub here :)
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RUclips channel 6 months ago about self development. Now I have 345 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
*-Quiet Confidence-* • how we feel inside • stand our boundaries *keep my own promises* • rely on my promises -> gain security in myself (e.g social media limit) *Get to know myself* • emphasis on shadow self *build better self-image (long lists)* • past sucesses and contributions • strength • potential *activly create a positive outlook* • positive affirmations, mandras • graditude (If you look at what you dont have, you will always have less. If you look at what you have, you will always have enough) *Get rid of the victim role* • less complaining • self sabotage *slow down* • stop being in such a rush -> dont escape • taking up space physicak -> make room for my person, stand up for myself
Sounded really helpful and just wrote all the tips down in a list to work through it 🤗 I'd love for you to make a video on the stop bein a victim point ❤
Growing up my needs more often than not weren’t respected or encouraged, I was even punished if I had or expressed needs. I feel this makes me shameful whenever my boundaries appear to me to be ignored or my needs dismissed. It feels like I can’t get a hold of what it is that I might need because it’s so drilled into my bones that wanting something or needing something that is not the same as someone else, or that might inconvenience them, is the epitome of selfishness and evidence that I’m a bad person. Also, I am always convinced my feeling of the need is invalid or a figment of my imagination, that I am misinformed or exaggerating. I don’t think I could ever say things like: I need a lot of cuddles every day; I need you to give me context and be communicative; I need you not to be distant and feel far away; I need you to reassure me a lot even if it feels like you are repeating yourself; I need to hear you say countless times and regularly that you care about me, will be there for me, and appreciate me; I need you to be dependable and punctual; I need it to be okay for you if I decide I need to wait to have sex indefinitely because I don’t want to feel pressured; I need you to always have my back and be on my side while also always being honest and direct with me if I need to change a behavior or if something is bothering you; I need you to make efforts to remain calm and be gentle and careful if you are upset or if we argue; I need you to let me walk out before you if we walk through a doorway; I need you not to sleep with your back to me in bed even if you feel this is the only way you can fall asleep. Even though these are needs I feel I definitely have, to my mind, it would be too much to ask someone to cater to them. I feel like they are things I should work on not needing, that having them means I need to stop needing them, or rather, that I need to work on fulfilling them myself. I would like to feel it’s okay to have them and express them and that they are real, but I don’t know how or what is appropriate and normal.
The "what i need" list will definitely make me more sad because most things and ppl that I need is not always available or just unreachable for me to have it. Even a simple hug, i know I will never have that since I was raised in a tough family where showing support or love is cringy 😞
I am so glad I came across your video! Literally I could listen to you all day! I have implemented listening to you at the gym while I workout and it felt so good, working on myself again mentally and physically. I just want to say, thank you so much you're incredible❤
Wow! This video couldn't have come at a better time! Confidence is something I constantly strive to improve, and these 10 steps seem so practical and easy to follow. I love how the video emphasizes that true confidence comes from within and shows us how to embrace our authentic selves. Can't wait to start implementing these tips and become magnetic! Thank you for sharing this valuable advice! 🌟
You're so right quiet confidence=real confidence loud confidence is always fake people who claim to not care actually care about social status I want normal water or just an orange juice or pineapple juice depends on my mood
Nika, I really need to ask you to create a podcast or Patreon for us, because this one single video from you has helped me so much in many ways than my 100USD therapy sessions ever did.
Probably this is the only video about confidence (self-improvement) that I was able to finish. I'm an analytical person and because I work in a growth marketing team, this is probably my biggest asset. But these past few months, I tend to overthink and overanalyzed every darn thing in my life. Then I've been experiencing lots of negative emotions even with simple things. I started reading " Master Your Emotions", which is about self-awareness (recognizing and accepting your emotions), and I already love this book. This video about "quiet confidence" seems like a perfect combo to watch as I'm finishing the book. I will definitely start with your two tips which are "stop being a victim" and "slow down". And will definitely watch this video again in the future to remind myself. All information in this video is valuable and will be sharing it with others as well. Thank you Nika 🩷
I hate when social media influencers tell people to 'stop being a victim' because without realizing they end up showing that while their own lives aren't without struggles (as nobody's life is), they don't understand the traumas and lived experiences of millions who did not choose to be 'victims', not that anyone chooses that. I know I should watch the entire video and I almost always watch the entire thing before writing a comment but this I simply don't want to. There is a difference between having a no bullshit attitude and telling millions of people who're actual victims of horrific abuse to 'stop being victims.' I honestly think RUclips influencers should start being honest to their viewers about the rotten core of their 'know it all' arrogant persona that they've cultivated for an audience.
I think it's much more about not feeling you are actively a victim, constantly. " A Victim mentality" usually means you are not in control of what happens/how you feel. She is saying you can control how you FEEL not what has happened in the past or will happen in the future. Basically, if you keep thinking " I am a victim and thus feel X", you are giving your control and power away. Of course, it is normal to feel sad or angry but there comes a time when you accept what has happened as the past and control your future. At least that is how I interpreted this and I hope that makes sense.😊
Nika, this is suchhhh a valuable video. Ty for sharing :,))) legit saved the link to this video for future rewatching! I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but my friend recently introduced me to Superhuman meditations and the app has insanely enhanced my confidence beyond what I even thought existed! All of the content centers around living as the person you've always wanted to be, and so much of it centers on building your self-image to reflect deep confidence - it's so similar to all you're explaining here!! Can't help but share because it's honestly changed my life and feel like you'd really enjoy it haha :) x
My 3 steps to better self-confidence
1- work on yourself
2- eat healthy, drink a lot of water and have a good sleep
3- Read the book Womens magic truths on borlest
I'm very surprised how few people know about this book when my friend recommended it to me it took me 1 day just to read it and I was blown away it's the best thing I've read lately My self-confidence has increased to the maximum
These are great tips. I've never read that book before. I'll have to check it out. Tip number 2 is so helpful to feeling your best everyday. What are things you do to make yourself better?
Your point about the happiest people being the most willing to share just really hit me. It’s so true that self-loathing people have a scarcity mindset, are super competitive, and feel crappy when they see others’ good fortune. Speaking from experience here, lol. And the victim mentality folds right in. Thanks for sharing this video!!
Anytime I’ve compared myself to others, I’ve felt less than. Until I realized that the only person I should compare myself to, is the person I was yesterday. No matter what you compare, you will always find someone richer, better looking than you, has a nicer car, has a better (fill in the blanks). And it's totally pointless. When I began focusing on the idea of going to bed better than I woke up, basically making sure that throughout day I do things that make a better version than the one who woke up that morning, then life really began to change for me. Focus on you and your own progress. Run your own marathon!
Your point about boundaries with partners is so true. Recently ended a relationship when a man crossed a boundary a few times. I finally said hey, enough, stop it. Period. He got all bent out of shape. I told him if he can't respect what is clearly a line for me, then I'm moving on. And yes, I was prepared for the relationship to end, which it did. It didn't kill me. It simply reinforced what I will accept and NOT accept in a relationship.
I resonated so much with this. It’s like a mix of self love and no bullshit mentality. Exactly the balance I need. Listening on repeat!
Awhh thank youu! I really appreciate the feedback ❤️
🎉
I’m I not in 😢 Play with the your friends in on your a the phone own game and in on then it their cousins in are your home and your you so they I are don't 😅
1)KEEP A PROMISE, BUILD SO MUCH CONFIDENCE
Example: Saving $15,000 a year will make you feel more confident and help you stick to your word.
Choose one thing that you will commit to for three weeks, such as writing down three things you are grateful for in the morning or doing workouts.
2)GET TO KNOW YOURSELF
Start journaling to explore your thoughts and feelings.
Make a long list of activities or experiences and try them out. Afterward, write down why you liked or didn't like each one, considering various factors.
3)WRITE THREE DIFFERENT LISTS
Reflect on your past successes and contributions.
Identify and acknowledge your strengths.
Recognize your potentials and areas where you have room to grow.
4)ACTIVELY CREATE A POSITIVE OUTLOOK
Embrace a positive mindset and believe that good things happen to you.
Practice gratitude by focusing on the little things that bring you joy, even on difficult days.
Make a conscious effort to minimize complaints and instead focus on the positive. It takes practice, just like building a muscle.
5)STOP BEING A VICTIM
Practice resilience and acknowledge that while certain things may have happened to you and sucked, you are determined to move forward and not let them limit your life.
6)HOW YOU APPEAR TO THE WORLD
Pay attention to your posture and maintain good posture.
Slow down your pace, whether it's walking or talking.
Practice entering a room by looking around slowly before proceeding in your intended direction.
When asking uncomfortable questions, speak slowly and confidently, without feeling obligated to answer if it makes you uncomfortable. Slowing down will make you appear more confident.
7)GET TO KNOW YOUR NEEDS
Be confident in expressing your needs to others.
For example, say, "I need you to hold me because I'm feeling really sad," or "I need you to pay a little more attention to me because I'm feeling off today."
8)ACTIVELY IDENTIFY WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, EVEN IN SMALL WAYS
Imagine your perfect working environment, friendships, or relationships, and write about them in a journal.
Allow yourself to dream and have fun envisioning your ideal future.
9)CREATE STRONG BOUNDARIES
Recognize that valuable things are not easily obtained by everyone, just like exclusive brands like Hermes. Seek high-value and amazing friends, as this is your sacred space that you don't want to compromise.
Communicate your boundaries clearly, especially with men, and be prompt and assertive. For example, say, "I don't like it when you do XYZ because it's disrespectful." Stick to your boundaries as only you can uphold them.
10) ASK YOURSELF WHAT SOMEONE WHO LOVES THEMSELVES WOULD DO
Trust your intuition and honor the first answer that comes to mind.
11) FOLLOW YOUR HAPPINESS and pursue the things that bring you joy and fulfillment.

This is so helpful! Thank you!
Finally someone who actually tells me how to feel confidentI wish we were taught this at school
Hold yourself to a higher level of accountability than any one else, then meet and exceed that level. And most important, actually give a shit.
Useful and meaningful tips! I’d like to add: be true to yourself.
If you feel certain emotion, acknowledge it. Take responsibility for your actions and don’t cloud your words by saying something that you don’t mean or isn’t true. Be direct and open with oneself is one of the keys to be confident.
Also, When we keep on dodging or escaping what is not favourable, our confidence shatters. Facing the problems is also important.
I know it takes time to be confident, it doesn’t happen overnight. We all are imperfect and progress always holds an upper hand than perfection 😊
It is quite obvious & natural too that at some stage of your life you come across these things like feeling sad or a lack of confidence, especially after a big milestone accomplishment , feeling bored, loss of meaning or purpose in life,feeling unfulfilled,feelings of nostalgia, excessively thinking about the past, making impulse actions, feelings of regret. But as I have been closely following you through your vlogs, I strongly feel that you would surely over come your anxiety & so called midlife crisis thing.
A video that ACTUALLY gives you the action steps to the desired state of being confident! Thank you!!
I agree. Confidence is quiet! Insecurity is Loud
Have you ever heard about the fact that self-trust is an unconcious core need? most of us people have the extreme concious feeling of wanting to control everything.

So if you want to stop the fears, overthinking, making up plans in your head and building self trust instead, make yourself small promises every day. And KEEP THEM.
Making your happiness your biggest priority isn't selfish..I needed to hear that

I'd love for you to make a video on the stop bein a victim point ❤
you have rebranded yourself so many times its hard to keep up, i wish you happiness
Wishing you happiness as well✨
I love how you keep evolving
It was superb video. very precise and it covers up all the things that are required for being confident and building a healthy lifestyle.
Love this video, it feels so warm and like an older sister giving me good practical advice ❤
Growing up my needs more often than not weren’t respected or encouraged, I was even punished if I had or expressed needs. I feel this makes me shameful whenever my boundaries appear to me to be ignored or my needs dismissed.
It feels like I can’t get a hold of what it is that I might need because it’s so drilled into my bones that wanting something or needing something that is not the same as someone else, or that might inconvenience them, is the epitome of selfishness and evidence that I’m a bad person.
Also, I am always convinced my feeling of the need is invalid or a figment of my imagination, that I am misinformed or exaggerating. I don’t think I could ever say things like:
I need a lot of cuddles every day;
I need you to give me context and be communicative;
I need you not to be distant and feel far away;
I need you to reassure me a lot even if it feels like you are repeating yourself;
I need to hear you say countless times and regularly that you care about me, will be there for me, and appreciate me;
I need you to be dependable and punctual;
I need it to be okay for you if I decide I need to wait to have sex indefinitely because I don’t want to feel pressured;
I need you to always have my back and be on my side while also always being honest and direct with me if I need to change a behavior or if something is bothering you;
I need you to make efforts to remain calm and be gentle and careful if you are upset or if we argue;
I need you to let me walk out before you if we walk through a doorway;
I need you not to sleep with your back to me in bed even if you feel this is the only way you can fall asleep.
Even though these are needs I feel I definitely have, to my mind, it would be too much to ask someone to cater to them. I feel like they are things I should work on not needing, that having them means I need to stop needing them, or rather, that I need to work on fulfilling them myself. I would like to feel it’s okay to have them and express them and that they are real, but I don’t know how or what is appropriate and normal.
This is great content! Thank you so much for this video, I love how you talk about knowing your character and your needs. Accepting ourselves in huge.
I absolutely love your mindset
Yes c'mon ladies, let's become "no nonsense queens" 👸🙌
I kept track of what to do in my journal and after you mentioned to slow down my handwriting changed manifold 😄
That colour blue is simply divine on you!!
Thank you for this. The portion about taking up space was especially insightful. ❤
The "what i need" list will definitely make me more sad because most things and ppl that I need is not always available or just unreachable for me to have it. Even a simple hug, i know I will never have that since I was raised in a tough family where showing support or love is cringy 😞

Thank youuuu so so so much for this video its helping so so much!
Probably this is the only video about confidence (self-improvement) that I was able to finish. I'm an analytical person and because I work in a growth marketing team, this is probably my biggest asset. But these past few months, I tend to overthink and overanalyzed every darn thing in my life. Then I've been experiencing lots of negative emotions even with simple things.
I started reading " Master Your Emotions", which is about self-awareness (recognizing and accepting your emotions), and I already love this book. This video about "quiet confidence" seems like a perfect combo to watch as I'm finishing the book.
I will definitely start with your two tips which are "stop being a victim" and "slow down". And will definitely watch this video again in the future to remind myself.
All information in this video is valuable and will be sharing it with others as well. Thank you Nika 🩷
i genuinely loved this,
Excellent advice ❤
Past achievements
Strength
My potentials
Just added all of these ideas to journal! Thank you!
Thank you for these reminders !
My pleasure 🥰
I hate when social media influencers tell people to 'stop being a victim' because without realizing they end up showing that while their own lives aren't without struggles (as nobody's life is), they don't understand the traumas and lived experiences of millions who did not choose to be 'victims', not that anyone chooses that. I know I should watch the entire video and I almost always watch the entire thing before writing a comment but this I simply don't want to. There is a difference between having a no bullshit attitude and telling millions of people who're actual victims of horrific abuse to 'stop being victims.' I honestly think RUclips influencers should start being honest to their viewers about the rotten core of their 'know it all' arrogant persona that they've cultivated for an audience.
I think it's much more about not feeling you are actively a victim, constantly. " A Victim mentality" usually means you are not in control of what happens/how you feel. She is saying you can control how you FEEL not what has happened in the past or will happen in the future. Basically, if you keep thinking " I am a victim and thus feel X", you are giving your control and power away. Of course, it is normal to feel sad or angry but there comes a time when you accept what has happened as the past and control your future. At least that is how I interpreted this and I hope that makes sense.😊
Nika, this is suchhhh a valuable video. Ty for sharing :,))) legit saved the link to this video for future rewatching! I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but my friend recently introduced me to Superhuman meditations and the app has insanely enhanced my confidence beyond what I even thought existed! All of the content centers around living as the person you've always wanted to be, and so much of it centers on building your self-image to reflect deep confidence - it's so similar to all you're explaining here!! Can't help but share because it's honestly changed my life and feel like you'd really enjoy it haha :) x
