“Finding your passion isn’t just about careers and money. It’s about finding your authentic self. The one that you have buried beneath other’s needs.” (Kristin Hannah)In a world where I can be anything, I have chosen to fly under the radar and remain ‘hidden’. Not because I didn’t believe in myself but because I always wanted to play it ‘safe’. I guess there is some element of a lack of self confidence in that, and of course the fear judgement and being laughed at and not being taken seriously does plague me, but not as much as it did before…Believe me, the …world that I grew up in and live in, judgement and being laughed at are very real things. Doing this is taking me out of my comfort zone in a way that I find difficult to put into words. However I am at a stage where I feel that if I don’t do this I will regret it forever. I’ve been saying for years now, ‘it doesn’t feel like the right time’, but the right time never comes, because life is never 100% right all the time. You just have to work with what you have. So I’m taking the plunge and flexing my creative muscles (the only muscles I might flex in this lifetime ?). I’ve written books and books of my own personal journals and of course something’s just need to remain personal…there’s always a fine line…I have always loved reading and creative writing. So I’m doing this! I am going to write about whatever I feel I need to write about…Love it or hate it…I have to do this. It’s the only way I will know where this path leads. I do hope you will enjoy reading my writing. Watch this space! TS?
