Today - brace yourself - I did something I thought would take years for me to do. I willingly showed someone my writing, something I actually put so much effort into doing. It was complicated because we were just talking about it, then I just, let her. I don't really know I mean, I never really do that, my writing is meant to be my own and not for others to see. I had to fight the need to run and grab my book from her and hold it to my chest and not let her read more than a paragraph.
She liked it.
My confidence levels have been rising a lot lately, and nowadays I find myself smiling when I am writing more, any time I get a chance I am writing, my brain is whirring inside my head and suddenly I'm really proud of myself. I discuss my work with others but I never show them, she's only the third person to read it.
My blog is giving me confidence too, especially when I look and I have about 47 page views in one day. It doesn't sound like much, but I've gone from a small girl in a large town to knowing someone, even if it is just one person in the world, enjoys what I write and reads my blog.
It means the world to me, honestly and it has raised my confidence more than I could believe possible. I want to share with the world that you can be amazing, heck, you could be unstoppable. You are you, and you can be astounding, not just to those around you, but to the world.
