I gave up on sharing my writing awhile ago.
I took my inner thoughts and shared them only to my journal. But even then I wouldn’t always write all that I was thinking.
I allowed myself to hide from the outside world. I stopped posting on social media and I stopped talking to a lot of my friends and family,
The only ones allowed into my comfort zone were my husband and my parents.
Then, I started working on myself. My husband (who is an amazingly supportive person), kept encouraging me to be creative.
He started a gaming group with our friends. They all encouraged me to get creative with characters and, eventually, by running adventures.
Now I’m more in the mindset of letting others in. I feel as if I am ready to let my thoughts loose into the internet. And I feel more ready to deal with any criticism that comes back my way.
