Say 'ME' now
I needed a reminder today, I needed to ask myself some questions and really listen to my rational self, well, the the most rational part of myself that I have. She constantly tells me to do stupid things or drink too much rum, but I tried to put her into gear today on the straight and narrow and I feel like I have given myself a good kick up the arse.
I want to write, I want to write as my career, I have doubted
myself for so long and I am trying soooo bloody hard to tell myself to crack on
and go for what I want, not tomorrow, or next week or next year, I need to do
it TODAY.
I am going to be a published author, that is a reality,
years of crippling voices in my head told me I wasn’t good enough, no one would
read it, it is all a load of rubbish but if I don’t believe in myself, no one
else is going to either.
I looked at my old blog today sym-ple1.blogspot.com and came across a blog written 6 years ago called ‘5 things to tell your daughter.’ It made me laugh, cry and realise that in the blink of an eye time runs away. (Link below)
I wrote about my daughter being a 13 year old, which she will be in just over a month!
I wrote advising her about Ann Summers...for some reason, I will have to revise that now. why I thought I'd be introducing Ann Summers to my 13 year old I don’t know?! Perhaps I’d had a few too many vinos writing that one!
I was full of hope after flicking through the blogs I had
written, this is what I enjoy, this is what I want to do and I am going to keep
trying and I am NOT going to give up! Rejection will come and I will take it
in, let it out and carry on, (after screaming into a pillow), I am going to do
this, and if I want to teach my daughter anything it is to keep going, so that
is what I am going to do.
I’ve just realised for someone who has no confidence in
herself, all of these paragraphs have started with ‘I’ ! So I am going to end
it with me, I believe in ME. It is all about ME, ME, ME.
Oh, and hello, sorry it's been a while! I'm doing a follow up to '5 things to tell your daughter' so perhaps there might be another fantastic insightful article in a couple of days. I know, you can barely contain yourselves!
I'd better get thinking...which part of my brain will kick into gear on this one?!
