It’s Time To Be Fearless!

Let me tell you something... insecurity is a problem to anyone but especially to creators. There's nothing more frustrating then when you have a vision and the reason you can't bring it to life is because of insecurity. 3 things come to mind when I think about insecurity:

- It's a cliche

- What will people think or say?

- It's holding me back

That photo you see above? yeah, that photo was taken around 3 years ago. Guess what? I took that photo. By myself. It was the first time I felt inspired to take self-portraits. (Not the same as a selfie y'all). I had no tripod, no help, and NO CONFIDENCE but after watching @Marinawphoto I had to give it a shot. I would run back and forth between posing, clicking the shutter button, and negative self-talk. So after hours of trying to get THE SHOT I put these photos in the archives. I let this perfectly fine piece of work collect dust in my hard drive. To never be seen all because of what? INSECURITIES?!

It's time to change perspective.

It's time to open this... box of insecurities... and be kind to myself.

It's time to be kind FOR myself.

If you are still reading this, BE KIND TO YOURSELF and don't let your creation sit in the archives. Let your creativity flow and flourish. Put your ideas out there and bring them to life. Not everything is going to be golden but we gotta start somewhere. If you're worried about opinions, talk to the people who love you. Don't let that monster of a self critic be the reason you hold yourself back and if you're needing that encouragement then you are in the right place. If this is not something you are looking for I STRONGLY encourage you to hit that unfollow button.

I believe in you and can't wait to see what you make. If you feel like it, tag me and I would LOOOVVEE to be your personal cheerleader on this new journey.
