And where have you been?

Sometimes life gets you down. And sometimes we know it all too well. Have you ever felt filled with ambition and drive but then stop yourself from doing whatever for fear of falling flat on your face? Sound familiar? Yeah, me too. 

I want to explain why I haven't really posted for a while. There's been no posts because I've been reading other people's posts and exploring other people's blogs and I suddenly became really aware of the fact that their blogs are 1000x better than mine. 

I felt really deflated and subsequently, anything that I've written ready to publish has just seemed mediocre and a little bit crap. That's why I haven't posted anything over the past week as such. 

Obviously it's not a good place to be in, however one thing I've realised from it is that I can't let the feeling of not being good enough to compare to other people stop me from doing something I enjoy. If you let things like that get you down then you never will be good enough. 

Yes, my posts may be nothing spectacular. Yes, my actual blog may be of poor quality and lacking in even the basic buttons and links. But that's purely because I haven't got that far yet. Note the use of the word 'yet'. I'm not there 'yet' because I haven't learned that 'yet' or developed that 'yet' but so long as I carry on to work at it then one day it will be all of those things.

So here's a plea to the small amount of people that this will reach, don't let the fear of falling flat on your face put you off from striving for what you want. I nearly packed it all in this week, but I chose not to because it is something that I really want to continue and grow doing. Just remember, it may not be perfect yet, it will take time.
