LifeJournaling #1 - First Day
This is my first day here. I was stumbling looking for interesting information about the platform. My first thought was to start writing something but a fear of being perfect stoped me. I was afraid of being judged by people because I am not a professional writer. Also my native language is not English and a thought in my head was whispering me that I have to become better on it before starting to write something. So I decided to copy a quote and post it. I was surprised when I saw people commenting my quote and wishing me luck on this platform. That was the moment when I've decided to start writing regardless of my fears.
So here I am, writing my first post without any concern because I know there are people who will follow me and appreciate me with all my mistakes.
Lesson learned: don't listen to your thoughts. Do what you want without any fear. There will be always people who will appreciate you.
Welcome to Steemit Happychild. Just be yourself, express yourself and you will have a great time. I have only been on here for a week but everyone seems very welcoming and there is plenty to explore and learn from. Your command of the English language far exceeds plenty of high school graduates in the United States where it is their first and only language. Hope to see you again around here.
Thank you @saltnpaper for encouraging me. Followed you. See you around :)
You are most welcome. Would you mind me asking what your native language happens to be?
Good work, thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
