The truth is, I’ve been keeping this a secret from you. In fact, I’ve had a blog page for almost a year and haven’t sent the link to anyone because…well… I am afraid to blog.
Writing tends to be an outlet for me in which I make myself pretty exposed and vulnerable. Inviting people into my life this up close produces some fear in me. The fear is that if people know the real me, the real and raw thoughts, they could all gather around in a large circle and mock me. The fear goes deeper. The fear of not being approved of. The fear of losing human affirmation. The fear of wanting so badly to be liked but realizing that some people may not always like what I think or say. So I am taking on a great challenge by blogging! Exposing some pretty personal struggles and experiences- and now I will be held accountable for it!
I want to be transparent, sort of like a window. If people know the real me, they can help me learn to live. Hopefully these experiences will help others to learn to live too. At very least, may it be a form of multimedia entertainment.
Thanks for visiting!
Love,
Katie
