I guess that was it. It is so simple and easy yet not everybody could do that.
Why?
Because getting rid of your pride, your shame and letting go your fear sometimes could be more fearful than it’s look like. This is difficult because most of us are tend to keep their level of pride, and when they have to let it go in the society it gives them fear. These people are afraid when they do let their pride people would think about them not as they want it to be.
Well, just for an example, some of us might feel that telling random people (who read your weblog or whatever) about the condition that you were drunk and kissed a guy by accident is very embarassing, on the other hand some of us might just feel “normal” to do so. I even know some people who tought that telling people about them falling from their bike are unacceptable.
So, this post might be useful for you if you are one of those who are afraid about what people think about you.
You know what, do not be afraid. People like you for what you are, and when they change after they know your flaws then you know that they are just not worth it. To appreciate your life and your self are important, cherise every stupid moment that happened, and realize that sharing those sentimental, stupid, or (even better) happy times are beautiful and you will be surprised seeing how many people out there who are supporting you.
Just open up yourself and be relax, and the most important thing; be yourself – honest.
a dear friend of mine once told me, “when you tell a story that is honest, it gives a better feeling to the reader,”
I took his advice, and apparently when you are writing your story honestly – no matter how bad your writing is, the reader always gets the point. They will understand your writing better. Believe you – me.
I hope this how to tips could help you in any way that is possible.
happy writing everyone!
groetjes,
