My Perfectly Imperfect Blog

Today is the brave day, when I finally make my first post on my blog. I have been thinking about it and talking about it for so long. The problem is that, even though my whole blog is about my journey to accept "imperfection" and just get on with my life and do the things I love without fear, I am very fearful of it.

What exactly am I afraid of? I am afraid that it won't be "good enough", and it is blocking me from doing something I would dearly love to do.

But here it is, my perfectly imperfect blog. It may be that someone might read it and think, "Who does she think she is?" Someone might spot grammatical errors. Someone might find it deathly boring. Someone might think it isn't updated enough. 

But there might be someone out there who is equally blocked, as I have been, from doing something they love, out of a fear of not being good enough. Or they simply might find it difficult to enjoy what they do, because they don't feel good enough. That one person might relate to what I have to say. They might find themselves at the start of their own journey to live the life they want to, by letting go of the fear which is pressing down on them and holding them back. 

Most of all, I might be that one step closer to freedom, to just enjoy life, and to finally make a career of my favourite past time - writing - as I have always dreamed of.

Thank you for reading.
