Welcome back, Little Leaves!
I can't believe I'm almost at 800 views! You guys are awesome for that! I see new Leaves coming to this blog everyday, and the fact that there is so much consistency makes me feel like I'm actually doing something to help others! 🤍
Anyways, lately I've been doing something new: streaming.
If you know me personally, you know that putting myself out there is especially hard for me and has been my entire life. I've always been a really shy person.
But lately, I've been trying to push myself out of that comfort zone a little bit more. And honestly? Streaming has been one of the biggest ways of doing that.
The first time I went live, I was SO nervous. 🤣 I kept thinking, What if nobody watches me? What if I sound dumb? What if I say something stupid? What if somebody says something mean? What if I just don't know what to say?
I realized... those thoughts are exactly why I wanted to start streaming.
I've spent so much of my life worrying about what other people think of me. I've avoided things because I was scared of being judged or criticized. So, something as simple as turning a camera on and talking while I play a game has been a huge step for me.
I'm still nervous. I'm still learning. And I'm definitely still figuring out what I'm doing. 😅 But I'm doing it!
I'm really proud of myself for it.
I'd also like everyone to know that that's where my writing has helped a lot. I write for me and my Little Leaves. But, being criticized or judged for what I write comes with that. I had to learn to accept that some people don't like my writing style. And that's okay, it's not for everyone.
I think something I want to remind you all of, is that you don't have to wake up one day and suddenly become fearless. Sometimes growth is just doing the thing that scares you while you're still scared.
So, put yourself out there! Try something new! Start a project, make a change, or do something you've been too nervous to do... maybe this is your sign to try.
You might surprise yourself. You'll surprise me, because I want you to come back here and tell me what you did. 👀
You'll have someone to say, "I'm proud of you". 🤍
And if you're interested in keeping up with my stream, I'm overthinkasaurus on Twitch! It's going to be the cute, pink long neck Dino that looks nervous. 😅 Come hang out with me sometime. I promise I'm still figuring out this whole thing too!
Thank you for being here, Little Leaves! Whether you've been here since the first post or you're brand new, every view, every comment, and every person who takes the time to read my words means more to me than you know.
Until next time, Little Leaves 🍂🤍
