Dare to write

Nobody will read your blog anyway - it doesn't have to be so serious
For some reason, I find it scary to post thoughts, text, ideas, tips and so on so forth on the internet. There's something scary about having a piece of you left online, a piece that could get "stale" and no longer represent you, could be misinterpreted, could upset somone (especially since I'm very, oh so very, edgy).
However, a realization that has crept up on me over the past few years is that I never apply this fear, this critical lense, on other peoples work. I always assume that the person writing '7 best way to get shredded in 10 minutes' did all the research, all the scrutinizing, all the testing. In reality, they might as well have made it all up for those sweet clicks.
Getting over your fear of partaking in the internet, what is essentially "the world" when it comes to discussion, dialog and concourse, is important. Being a spectator leaves the steering up to everyone else - and what makes their opinions better than yours? Plus I can practice writing! I think I could use some of that...
Take blog posts and opinions thrown into void less serious. The harsch reality is that nobody is going to read it, anyway 😄
