Life of a #lifecaster - shaking things up. Again.

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

No relevance - I just thought it was pretty.Being called out earlier in the week was sucky.  It embarrassed me, and hurt my feelings.  I did, and still do, feel like I was doing a great job with my posts.  They are diverse and incredibly honest, and I am holding nothing back.  I don’t get raw to the point of tears with every post, but not every post requires something like that.  When I am sharing something meaningful and emotional, I explore my emotions, and share them fully.

I am glad that @JenFriel called me out.  If she hadn’t asked me to look at my fears, I wouldn’t have realized that all of my insecurities come from one place.  Acknowledging that place has made me aware that I am good enough, and while it will continue to be a struggle, I am able to address why I am feeling insecure and whatnot.

But here’s the thing, Jen...I’m going to turn it back on you.  Your favorite thing to point out to people is that life is reflective.  You felt like I was in a rut, and needed to shake myself out of it.  What do you see in you that is making you feel that way?  No one can be all awesomesauce and yaylife all the time.  It is obvious that you love what you do and are living a dream, but there is something you aren’t sharing.  We are missing something.  Break the surface, break yourself back down, and let us back in.  You still have insecurities in there somewhere, you still have real feelings other than excitement.  I want to hear them!
