Recently, I have been enjoying the wee achievement badges that WordPress have been awarding. I have not long earned my Globe trotter badge which is quite fun, to know that the blog has had visitors from 50 + different countries is pretty cool.
But one badge did make me a little sad – apparently I have had my blog for 8 years. Eight years doesn’t feel real, I think because I feel I have only really got going with this blog in the last few years. It’s sad because that is many years of me wanting to post but not feeling confident enough to ‘put it out there’. I would write a post, agonise over posting it, eventually publish it, only to chicken out and archive it within 30 minutes! Ridiculous!
It has only been the past couple of years I have started to feel able to post online without too much worry, and I have found that the more I do it, the easier it becomes. It is true that the more you do things that you fear, the easier it gets. And now in fact, I really enjoy writing on here.
So if you are reading this and you are nervous about posting, don’t waste years like I did. I encourage you to keep doing it and just know it gets easier the more you do so.
Don’t let a lack of confidence spoil your joy in writing.
