This is my first attempt at a blog post, on my first blog ever. Not such a big deal to many, right? Wrong. The idea of a blog may be simple enough, but to actually create one can be a daunting task for members of the general public. Daunting for me, however because I am a perfectionist.
I lack the skill to forgive myself if I create or make something that sucks, or at least sucks according to me. This has helped me to procrastinate the majority of things I have done or never started for most of my life. I have put off even the thought of this blog for ages just because I would have to: think about what to write, write something wonderful, take amazing pictures that completely grasp the concept of the post, redesign the layout of the blog to match my non-existent website, build my website to host my matching blog, etc, etc.
At this point, this blog is not only the beginning of a blog, but the beginning of a new process of letting go . I think every time I sit down to just write, it will be a release of perfectionism, a moment of forgiveness, the loss of a layer. Even the actual event of hitting publish, for the world to see will be a win. A chance to allow myself the freedom to be vulnerable. Whoa, but no not me... I can't start a blog!
