Taking up space.

I know everyone of us has been inspired to do something, but you’re immediately intimidated by the voices in your head giving you a million and one reasons why you shouldn’t. “Why do you think anyone would care for your content? Who really cares about what you think? It doesn’t sound “woke” or intelligent enough. There’s more than enough people doing the exact same thing. What makes you think you’re different?” It’s such a struggle to pull through but as scary as it sounds, I’ve decided to let go of these voices and just live my life. For the past few years I have successfully made excuses for why I shouldn’t write but somehow I complain that my writing is not as coherent as I’d like it to be. Same goes for other situations, but honestly life’s quite messed up as it is to further complicate it by overthinking everything lol.

Last year was a roller coaster of experiences for me. I spent a lot of time focusing on how people viewed me and I didn’t give myself a lot of credit. I ended up in situations that taught me how important and valuable I am, and how I needed to start treating myself with utmost respect. I’m thankful for all that happened and how it’s shaped me, but it is time for me to come into my own and “take up space”.

For me, the concept of taking up space has a lot of depth to it. It entails finding myself in new ways without worrying too much about the ‘what-ifs’ or who’s watching. I want to do more, know more and ask a lot more questions. I want to unapologetically be me because it’s the best thing I could ever do for myself.

I’m really excited to see where this takes me and what I get to accomplish with it as I grow older. It’s taken a lot of guts to come to the decision to put myself out there, because the more I think about it the scarier it sounds. But I know that it’s only because of how exciting this journey is going to be.

Till next time,
