5 minute Friday
Take a deep breath. You made it. It’s Friday. Got five minutes? Let’s write.Write for 5 minutes flat for pure unedited love of the written word.
Today's Prompt: Bare
Everytime I press the publish button that's what I feel. It's so scary to bare your secrets to people and not know what they think. It used to stop me from writing or from being myself because I felt like people would judge me for the things I did. And sometimes I still feel like that. But then I remember this quote that says "All you need is 20 seconds of inane courage to get things started." That's all. But that 20 seconds is one of the most terrifying twenty seconds of my life. And then it's over and I feel better. Because baring a secret that has been hurting for so long just feels so good. And maybe that's how I need to start living my life. Because twenty seconds of insane courage can change someones life.

This is my first "Five for Friday," and I'm very honoured to be able to link to your blog (as the person who just posted before me) and to read your courageous words, Natalie.
ReplyDeleteEven one second can change our lives, so I hope that by your taking 20, you will be able to witness the change you need and want to see in yours. As someone who's lived several of those myself (e.g., making the decision to move to England on my own without a job or knowing anyone, for instance), I know they can be some of the scariest, yet most transforming moments of my own life. Blessings as you step out!
