I haven't had much to say lately. More truthfully, I've had so much to say -- but it's all the same old stuff -- that I decided I'd skip writing it down. Often I've looked at a blank screen or gazed at the lines of empty paper, fingers poised for typing or pen a millimeter from the page.
Nothing.
Honestly, I've been afraid. I've been afraid of judgement, afraid of rejection. I've been terrified of the "I told you so"s and the "you have to do it this way"s that might crop up -- might being the key word. How am I to know what people will think or say or do? And why should that get in the way of living?
It's so much easier to tell someone else to be brave -- to keep trying -- to never give up -- to remember that he or she is worth it.
It's a lot harder to tell those things to yourself, let alone follow through and change.

It gets easier when you internalize the fact that you're awesome. Because then you can look in the mirror and say, "Oh, boy, I'm awesome!" and it's the easiest thing in the world.
