3. Creating without the pressure to be perfect.

In this new weekly blogging process I stumble upon a sensation. The pressure of being perfect.

Call it imposter syndrome or simply fear of getting out of my comfort zone.

But I feel like, not only with these blogs but with all of my content creation, something is holding me back from sharing. Indulging.

Instead of trusting myself to say the right things and it always being enough, there is a part of me that doesn’t feel the need to share.

Or more so, it feels scared to share.

But what am I really afraid of then? Surely I cannot please everyone. So why not please myself and find my personal group of cheerleaders along the way?

My very own cheerleaders. I have not known many, though the ones that do cheer me on are consistent and infinitely loving. And I would do the same for them.

I think finding that support is possible. The crux is, I have to be bold and share my thoughts in order to find the like-minded people I wish to connect with.

And so, here I am.

I will take small steps out of my safe little bubble, for I have been hurt before, you see? But then again- haven’t we all?

Forgive my sentiments.

I shall simply take another step in a forward direction. By sharing yet another blogpost.

Thank you for reading.

I will continue sharing,

Esmée.
