What’s it like to be you?

I think we can all benefit from answering this question ourselves. It’s a hard question. What does it feel like to be you? Does it feel good? Is it tedious? Fun? The only way to ever know how it feels to be you, is to work at being your best self as often as you can. Not being yourself, but being you. Just to kind of exist in this world and moment.

The Dreaded First Post

It all starts with a first post and I’ve got mixed feelings about it:

A bit of euphoria. I get pumped: “Hell Yes! I’m going to become a successful blogger, hang out with celebrities and get one of those free boxes filled with eye creams I’ll probably use once and then forget about for 6 years.Yes! Blogging is the only thing I need in my life!“

Much more confusion and fear. I start panicking: ”Okay I’ve made an account on Tumblr. Now what? I’m stuck. This is useless and I’m way out of my comfort zone, which generally includes burning all of my diary’s pages and being an extremely private person. Blogging is the last thing I need in my life! “

I just hope that taking this tiny risk by stepping outside of my comfort zone will allow me to grow as a person and bring me joy. I’ll just take baby steps, posting random bits and bobs here once a day and hopefully with time and practice I’ll feel more at ease about this new project.
