Beyond Boundaries

Today I decided to create a blog. Actually I've been planning to create one before, but I was afraid. I don't know what to do and quite frankly I don't know how to 'blog'. Afraid to get judged for being such a noob in blogging, I ignored my idea to start a blog for more than a year.

But today is a special day...

I have no work for the past couple of days due to the stormy weather, and I got bored. The idea of blogging came back into my mind again, but since I was afraid, I shooed the thought away. Two days passed and it still won't leave my mind. I called my boyfriend, for 2 years, to come over because I'm troubled. He took me out for a trip and while on the road he told me that I should stop being afraid to try new things and give it a try as long as it won't harm me or anyone. I guess he made a point, that's why here I am, taking a few baby steps on blogging.

Inspired with the song "Waving Through a Window" by Owl City, I decided to dedicate certain amounts of time every week in blogging until I get the hang of it.

As a piece of advice for those who also want to try blogging, go ahead and don't be afraid. Don't be like me who delayed it for many years. There is no right time to be ready, you'll be ready when you tell yourself that you are. You will only learn if you try; experience is the best teacher.

In order to grow as a person we need to try new things from time to time, and it is alright to fail. You'll eventually learn from your mistakes and do better the next time. So if you are afraid of failing or embarrassing yourself in blogging, don't worry, it's alright. We all failed at some point in life before we learned. Always remember The experts were once first timers. :)
