I fret. I worry. I backtrack and replay decisions I make. I should make them and then breath a sigh of relief. But sometimes a decision brings a whole gaggle of more decisions to be made.
I love to write but worry what I will say. Once written I worry it was not written well. I doubt my ability to truely craft a story with my own imagination or memory.
Reading other blogs is a curse and a blessing. I can see the rope someone is throwing out there telling their story. Their world, their day, their hopes and dreams. I see their rope and hold on until it takes me where I should go. Their description sends me to their world for a moment then softly swinging back to mine. Then it turns to become a mirror I always look in and look ugly. Instead of just sharing I think my humor didn't show up or my lack of grammatical correction took a nose dive. My words suddenly remind me of an awkward teenager with braces, coke bottle glassses and a bad case of acne.
Still, somewhere in this space between the letters my heart is beating. Hear it?
First of all my friend, you seriously are one of the wittiest (did I spell that right?) people I know! I love how you can describe things!!! I think you doubt yourself too much, anytime you need a confidence boost just let me know and I'll be the foot that kicks your butt=)
ReplyDeleteI mean that in a nice way=)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog! Your mom sounds like my mom. You do good.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand.
ReplyDeleteI read the blog by Heather Armstrong and wonder "Why can't I write like that?"
Then I think, "Oops I may get fired from work or this could prevent me from finding another job" if I open too much of myself online.
