Girls, offers free personal insights, anecdotes, and advice for the online teen publication,
Rookie Mag. Known for her humorous writing style, Lesley's advice flows in the same vein as she gives readers expert advice (based off of her own real life experiences) on dating and loving yourself in her column for the site, "
Go Ask Arfin."
What this expert had to say:
Ironically, what eventually gave me confidence with boys came from that very same pocket. It was rejection! I was rejected so many times that it became a part of my character. I was able to turn it into a funny joke or a good story—a part of me I learned how to embrace. And then something strange happened: I felt a little more confident. And then a little more. My little snowball of self-love kept getting bigger. And when the ball got really big, I stopped getting rejected. Actually, no, it wasn’t that I didn’t get rejected, it was that the definition of rejection had changed for me. Rejection never goes away. [RookieMag]
