Finding My Voice Again

It's been a while since I have posted. Part of the reason why is that I have been busy with a new career. Working full time has been a huge change, not just for me, but also for my family. Finding time to do the things I enjoy, such as writing, has been difficult.

But the other part of the reason I haven't posted has been because I have lost my voice. Today, I am trying to find it again.

I have done a little writing this year. In fact, the writing I have done has been my favorite style that I have ever composed. It has recently been on display in major ways throughout the U.S. and even abroad.

I admitted today to my mom that the reason I haven't written more has been because I am afraid that I am not good enough. I have doubt. What if I've outreached my potential? What if I run out of things to say? What if I'm being judged, or worse, laughed at, and I don't know it?

Self doubt has crept in. I have let it control me.

But now, I am going to work on overcoming my insecurities and charge ahead.

After all, the biggest risks also carry the biggest rewards.
