Take a chance

I have always struggled to be myself around people, if it was friends family or strangers i just found it very hard for as long as i remember.

I have worked through this a lot but still find myself being very conscious of what people may think of me or say behind my back.

I watched a film a few years ago which had some very inspiring word that everyone should carry with them "Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game"

 (A Cinderella Story)

This has kept me growing in confidence everyday along with the help of people i have met on the way to where i am now. Instead of avoiding people and shying away i try to embrace life and make the most of everyday. Although i still worry i try to shake it out of my system and don't let it hold me back. I could have a huge influence on somebody else's life and never know.

I now have some fantastic friends that i know will be there for a very long time, an incredible boyfriend who cheers me up whenever i'm down (even if he caused it lol) and a brilliant family that will be there whenever i need them. But this wouldn't have been possible if i never took a chance.

So i am asking you, wait no, i am telling you to take a chance in life and don't worry about what others may think of you, it will only hold you back and stop you from being who you really are.
