I used to be so anxious about putting myself out there.

What if people laugh?

What if people I know see my stuff and roll their eyes?

What if they think I’m being dumb?

Honestly… so what? So what if they do think all those things?

Their opinion shouldn’t matter so much that I actually stop myself from pursuing my dreams.

So here I am. Embracing whatever cringe I have in me.

Because over here, I’m the one making strides.
