I’m naturally a really shy person and having a blog is very rewarding, but is also a struggle for me because of this. Writing used to come easy to me a while ago, but I often find myself struggling when writing a post because I’m worried that I’ll say something wrong. But it’s important for me to fight through this because one of the major reasons I had started this blog was because I had lost myself and I knew that I needed to find her again. I wanted to inspire myself and others and it has helped. It really has and I’m so happy to say that!
If anyone else is struggling and worried about doing what they love and what makes them feel real, my best advice would be to just jump in. You’d be surprised how quickly you learn to swim when you do that even if you have to dog paddle for a while. Be brave (by facing your fears, not by beating yourself up for having them) and do what makes you feel like you.
Thank you for reading. Be kind. Be you.
If it speaks to you, I’m wearing:
Floral slip dress, similar here and here
Black blazer, similar here and here

May 27, 2018 at 10:19 pmThat floral dress is gorgeous!
And I agree, sometimes you really do have to just jump in and face your fears. I’ve always been a confrontational person on the internet, but I cry so easily in person if someone criticizes me. So I love having this kind of outlet to help bolster my self-esteem and confidence.

May 28, 2018 at 4:30 amI can relate your message and I like how you stand firm and stick to what you want to achieve. I find it sometimes discouraging too when some people would frown on why I blog, I guess I just have to ignore it or laugh about it. I like your maroon ensemble, the dress is really pretty.
