I am half way through this series and I have written/posted every day. That's huge for me and I was super excited. Then I logged on today and saw my stats. Right now my posts are being viewed, on average, 5 times each. That's a record low for me. And I was crushed. So much work and my blog is doing worse than it has in years. Seriously? My first reaction was to walk away from the whole thing. I couldn't have been more wrong.
It easy to give up when things don't go the way we hoped.
Perfectionism kills creativity.
It's also the main reason we don't journal.
We miss a day.
We make a mistake in pen.
We can't spell.
We hate our hand writing.
We try something new and it doesn't turn out.
We see beautiful photos on social media and convince ourselves we don't have the "right" talent or skills.
Our fear of imperfection keeps us from recording the moments and memories that make up our stories.
So, I'm going to keep writing here, and keep journaling, and keep trying new things. Because nothing is ever perfect...
