I had a goal and vision for this blog but unfortunately, I allowed fear to get in my way. Even after receiving positive feedback on the first post, plan, and the idea for the blog, I fought with fear and it won. I was not afraid of failing, but of what will happen after I succeeded. I was afraid of the future, what will happen 5-10 months and year after its launch. The thoughts of what will others think of me and my writing caused me be stagnated.
Fear of what others may think that this is not worthy while knowing others’ voices should not define me.
Writing this blog has been floating in my head since the kid was a seed. But I stood in my own way making excuses upon excuses because I was afraid of others. But now that I’m old and grown, I need to try for real. If no reads this blog then at least, I got it out of me. At least I tried.
I need to hold myself accountable so I can move forward.
Here are my promises to myself because that is who I am the most accountable to
• I promise to post at least twice a month.
• I promise to try to post interesting and thought-provoking content, hopefully, you will agree.
• I promise to engage with my audience.
• I promise to continue to try even when fear is breathing down my neck.
• I promise to love myself regardless.
• I promise to try not to be caught up in the follower count.
• I promise to focus on quality over quantity.
• I promise to take constructive criticism.
• I promise to do my best.
• I promise to write even when I want to run.
