I took a long (two month) break from writing on this blog. Mostly due to the fact that I got so busy with school and other commitments; but, I would be lying if I didn’t admit that it was also partially due to fear. When I started blogging, I was admittedly pretty vulnerable (to a degree). With this vulnerability, however, I don’t think that it completely resonated with me that this would be something that people would actually read. I mean, obviously I am publishing this in an open, online platform, but I don’t know that I ever truly realized that there are probably people who think this whole thing is weird, people who judge me, and people who think my ideas are just dumb. And quite frankly, that scares the crap out of me.

I am such a sensitive soul, I don’t easily shake people’s negative views. I haven’t received any negative feedback from this whatsoever, but finally internalizing the possibility of that shook me up inside and made me want to run and shy away from publicly sharing my views and experiences. But I miss it. I miss writing and sharing, even if it’s for an audience of 2 people. I miss divulging my heart into things that I really care about. I miss getting messages from people saying that I have actually helped them. I would be a fool to let go of something that drives that kind of passion out of me. So, to whoever may be reading this, I’m back and ready to share my love with the world.

Keep Smiling,

Jenna
