Have you ever felt like you needed to wait until you knew more before you could start something new?

I’ve always felt like I had to wait to learn more, know more, and grow more before I could do anything. Like I had to be credited before I could create, but how can I be experienced before I’ve tried? A lot of us might feel stuck, paralyzed with fear—fear of failing, fear of the unknown, fear of judgment. I know I have, and do. I’m human.

However, it’s taken me a lot to come to terms with the fact that I will never truly know, but that’s okay. I’ve learned that part of life isn’t about knowing but about learning, so I’ve been trying to push myself out of my usual habits in pursuit of creating.

Creating what exactly, I don’t know, but I wanted to start here. I’ve thought of deleting this, but instead, I just rebranded and kept the old posts. It’s an interesting opportunity for me to reflect on where I’ve been and for people to be nosy. Part of creating is also being vulnerable and being your authentic self.

There have been so many versions of myself through the years. I’m not necessarily proud of all of them, but they were all necessary for me to get where I needed to be.

I remember when I first considered starting this blog. I felt overwhelmed by the thought of putting my thoughts out there, afraid of what people might think. But now, I see it as a chance to learn and grow. If you’ve ever felt the same way, know that you’re not alone. Take the leap, and start creating, even if you don’t have everything figured out yet.

In the end, it’s not about knowing everything before you start. It’s about learning along the way and being true to yourself.
