Oh, how good that would be! But, Iโm not quite ready yet to do one thing every day that scares me. I donโt even know all of the things that do scare me, being honestโฆ but I know one thing: cameras!
Oh yes. Those pesky things that we end up on walking into shopsโฆ or in the background of someoneโs photoโฆ or in Selfies. If I end up on CCTV, my eyes are drawn to myself immediately. I think โIs that me?โ and then โThat canโt be me.โ And then I need to check myself out to make sure it is me. Confidence flies out of the door behind me, and Iโm left there gawping at an image of someone (who may or may not be me!) gawping upwards. Horrible, terrifying feeling.
So, atย the grand old age of (ahem) 24, Iโm tackling that fear face on. Head and shoulders on, in some cases. Inspired by Tillyโs post yesterday, I thought โWhy not?โ Iโm not singing. Itโs just a photo. When my bookโs published, and becomes not only a world best seller, but a Universal one, my photo will be everywhere then. And my proper name, but an updated photo is as far as Iโm going today. These photos are so up to date, they were me this afternoon.
None of those top of my head Selfies that I used to so aptly take of myself, oh no. These are proper, full-on Selfies. And a couple made into kinda Selfie Squares for Beckyโs KindaSquares challenge.
Now I know Iโve used photos of myself on the blog beforeโฆ some adapted slightly, but they are usually old photos, and Iโve changed quite a bit since then. Although not too much, seeing Iโm 24 and all that. And I will continue to use those caricatures Iโve created based on how I think I look from time to time,but today, this is me. All me. Fear aside.
Lights!
Camera!
Action!
Hello world!
And not a forced smile in sight! Although I did need to sit down. Cameras, you see!
Soโฆ would you do one thing a day that scares you? Would you do just one thing? Iโm just askingโฆ you donโt have to. We all have to do our own thing!
Do what feels right and enjoy it! It has to be done that way!
Happy Wednesday!
