Starting something public is scary.
This blog is scary. It's scary to know that probably no one is going to read it. It's also scary that it could be read by lots of people and I could somehow be exposed. It's scary to know it's associated with my name and all my friends could find it. I feel embarrassed about it.
But I just have to start. I need to do what I want despite all the fears that come up. The fears are real. There's a chance those things will happen.
But that's okay. I want to write and I want to share it so that maybe one person writes back telling me they enjoyed what I said or that they have a different perspective.
It's scary and it's embarrassing, but if you're seeing this... I'm doing it.
