Dreaming

The time has finally come for me to begin my journey in writing. Like millions of other people, I too dream of becoming a writer. But, not just any writer, a world known writer.

How and where do I start? What should I write about? Will anyone read my blog?

This were the questions I had over 6 years ago. I had talked myself into becoming a blogger then, I stopped. Well, here we are in 2019 and I am just now finally starting my blog. I confess I felt scared and overwhelmed. Why would anyone be interested in what I write, right? Aren’t there lots and lots of bloggers, vloggers, freelancers and writers? Why would my thoughts matter? I had convinced myself that the thought of writing was simply ludicrous, it was dumb and a waste of time. But, as time went by, I realized that fear would stop me from my dream. Fear was a barrier and the root f my doubts. Fear has been the root of many of my fears and ultimately, my failures. Some of us were brought up with the mentality that we ought to make sure others accept us, accept our thoughts and ideas. This is a flawed way of parenting. I for one have changed how my kids see life and their own personal goals. I have made sure they are secure in their ideas, their own dreams. I no longer expect for everyone to enjoy what I write or to even look at my blog. I now understand that by simply choosing to “blog” I have crossed my comfort zone and can’t be more proud of myself. I will be blogging often, about most topics. I am a woman with her own mind that can’t be constrained to something specific, but rather I am like butterfly: moving from one flower to the next. How far will you go to reach your dream? What steps will you take?

With luv,
