I’ve always been really closed owing to the assumptions I’ve had regarding how others perceived me, starting from school. I remember feeling petrified when a group of girls looked at me and giggled. I still have no idea what it was but I’d assumed it to be something embarrassing about me. Fast forwarding it 10 years, I was pretty much the same torturing myself with assumptions about other people’s perceptions of myself. I took a dive through writing an article about a topic that I really felt like sharing with others. Though it didn’t see any major success, few people got back relating to my views and even started engaging further. It was as if a part of my lungs had been regained. That has since motivated me to keep pushing back against my habit of assuming things and challenging it by being vulnerable, that had always scared me to the core. I’ve since started a daily blog series, where I try to publish my personal thoughts on Medium and Fb every 1–2 days. Getting to hear from 1–2 new people each time who relate and slowly getting to kill the assumptions I’ve always had has been truly liberating. Thanks for making me write this down. Cheers and Love your writing!
