Letting Go Before Moving Forward

So does that title sound dramatic? Oh well, I’ve tried to implement letting go of the little things that make me anxious. And that starts with this blog. I’ve always wanted to start a blog, but never have gotten the courage to do It. And why? Because of insecurities and that weird anxious feeling or becoming found on the Internet. But isn’t that what I want?

I call myself a baby mentally for stopping myself from creating such a simple thing that will make me happy. Blogging and writing and becoming a part of the writing community on social media is all I really want. And I’ve never followed through because of assumptions.

Assumptions.

Those lousy thoughts and predicaments formulated in my head that have no root cause or likeliness of even happening. It’s just a result of my overthinking mind and worst-case-scenario mind set, which my mom always tells me to navigate away from. But can you blame me? I mean really, I got a disease that 1/100,000 people get and those people most always are in the “elderly” age group. I’m 18.

But anyway, this post is the gateway post to all the lifestyle, fictional, and random excerpts I post on here. This is fun for me, and I need to keep that mindset. This is for me. Why am I more comfortable with strangers reading my work than people I actually know? This is my social breakthrough. If this gets around and one day does build up in views from the sources of gods I'm still trying to become spiritually connected with, then welcome, and hi again, if I know you. I hope you like my blog.

This is me letting go, and now am moving forward to do what I genuinely love, write.

Thanks for sharing your blog and your thoughts, Livi. Indeed it is important to let go of the past, especially the negative things, before moving on. Only then can we accept what God, life and destiny has to offer us.


Keep writing and sharing. I wish you the best in your endeavours. Love & light.

I feel the same way in that more comfortable having strangers see my thoughts than people I know. I am now 65 so now I feel I have to expose my legacy. You are young and so much to look forward to. Hopefully any obstacles can be over come.

Keep going! You're a good writer. I love writing, but I have that self doubt where I am like, "I'm not good enough", but I shouldn't be like that because I'll be missing out on life.

I like your site. =)

Hey Livi :) This is so true. I wanted to start a travel blog for years and assumed that no one would like it, or that I wouldn't make any money from it, but that's not the case at all. Everything takes time and I've learned to stop comparing myself to others. Thanks for sharing. All the best on your blogging journey!
