A Better Version of Me
Taking a mini-side step from the usual tonight to get a few thoughts out…
I’ve been pondering a lot lately on the blogging universe, and on what blogging really means to me. In a way, it’s kind of molded me, and it’s turned me into a much more positive, optimistic and self-assured person. I’ve always been blogging in one capacity or another since I first discovered the wonders of this online world. I may not be a self-proclaimed writer, but I enjoy sharing my loves and reading about others’. It wasn’t really until last year, approximately around the same time that my plans to study interior design became solidified that I really found my ‘blog calling’, if you will. My educational and blogging paths have intertwined so closely these last few months, and together, they’ve helped me learn so many new things about myself, and to grow as a person. Both have taught me to voice my opinions without fear and have helped me find my inner confidence. Those who know me outside of the internet know that I’m terribly shy and introverted, but I think that both having a blog and studying in such a highly creative field have opened me up and made me less afraid of showing myself to the world.
I’m ready and happy to let my mind open up and expand itself to its largest possible capacity. And I’m not afraid. I’m not afraid of someone judging what I like, or what I do. Finally, I feel like I’m shedding that anxiety of constantly needing the approval of others . I’m learning to trust myself and my instincts, and I’m learning to become a better version of me.
Out of curiosity, what has blogging helped you discover about yourself? Do you think you would be the same person you are today if you hadn’t started a blog?
