I grew up in a world of you can't.....You can't take gymnastics, you can't dance, you can't sing, you can't because you're a girl, you can't, you can't, you can't.......The funny thing is that when you're growing up in a world where you are constantly told what you cant do, you eventually stop trying. So now I am 29 years old and afraid to try anything because I still hear those voices in my head telling me what I can't do, and that makes me very sad. I'm sad because I allowed myself to believe all those people, I'm sad because those same people should have been encouraging me to be the best me, but instead they stifled every bit of creativity I had.......So I get the great, much needed chance to have an identity crisis as an adult instead of having on as a teen, yay me! Because there is nothing like trying to figure out who you are when you are a wife and mother
Enough whining, my goal is to do all those things that I was told that I could not do and see if I am any good at them or if I suck horribly....either way at least I get to say I tried, which is a helluva lot more than I've been able to say thus far
And so the journey begins.......
