For so long in my life, I was paralyzed by the five letter word, shame. I felt that there was a certain person I needed to be, and that wasn’t who I was. I was so caught up in wanting to belong and feel worthy that I wasn’t my true, authentic self and couldn’t be vulnerable.
However, I want to create a place where we defeat the gremlin of shame and fear of criticism or failure. I want to embrace that by being brave and fearless, even though it is not easy or comfortable. Because, I would rather fail a hundred times than live in a world where shame is my worst enemy; a world where I numb being vulnerable. I would rather speak my truth and tell my story authentically, rather than trying to fit in by acclimating to the social norm.
No, I am not perfect, however that is what makes me who I am. No one is perfect. But I have the courage to be imperfect. I am willing to let go of who I think I should be, and embrace, instead, who I am.
Luv, Liv
