This is my first blog, my first post and it’s taken me quite
some time to get here. There is no
logical reason for this; I have finger dexterity, easy access to the internet
and, most importantly, I love to write.
So, what’s holding me back? The
need to get it right, first time, with no mistakes -perfectionism. As I write this, I stop and go back to the ‘design’
button on my blog page. Previewing the
last few lines I decide that the the font I chose is not completely perfect
after all and it will spoil the post, so I waste some more time trying out some
new fonts to see if I can get it just right. Irritatingly compulsive, perfectionism
is the reason I haven’t blogged yet or at least it’s the delaying tactic I use
so I don’t have to. Really letting go
and accepting that I’ll make mistakes is the key, I’m sure, to really creating something
new. So, that’s what I’m going to try –
to accept that life is imperfect and it’s those unexpected messy situations that
have made the biggest impact on mine. To
the fearless mess!
