how do you get the courage to post your writing online? i've wanted to for a while. i'll type it up, and then i'm about to press post and i realize people i know from school or past things see my blog and that no one's ever really seen my writing and then

I think what it is, is that I don’t care? My family and my close friends know that I write and they’re proud of me and that’s all that matters. I think even more than that is that I don’t feel anything to be ashamed or embarrassed about. I’m proud of who I am and what I’ve achieved and if that comes across through here then great. You need to let go of the fear that people are going to judge you because of course, that’s what people do, but really, who cares?
