So you want to be a Blogger

I've wanted to start a blog for a while now. I guess the only thing holding me back is a good first post. So I'll just make a below average post with room to grow.

From the fear of spiders to the fear of failing, we have physical and mental responses to certain things. The fear of failing can be overcome with another fear: the fear of never succeeding because you never try. Thus a counter fear that promotes productive activity. Is fear such a bad thing?

Worst case scenarios invade my vivid imagination frequently, taking subject matter from daily tasks and happenings. Something as simple as a walk down the stairs can have me cringing in pain at the very real broken ankle I will receive two steps down. Or when a mildly dangerous task is preformed by a loved one I have already strapped them in the car and we are on the way the the ER holding the lost digits in a bag of ice. Due to these fanciful and detailed imaginings on the one hand I am prepared for anything, and on the other I am brimming with anxiety. The constant stress trigger is tiring and probably detrimental to my health 

Right now I have the fear of viscous backlash about unsupported claims and I'll be booed of the fledgling stages of the internet.... But I also fear that no one will notice my musings amongst the plethora of talented writers, photographers, and do-it-your-self-ers. I don't even have any cute babies or viral videos.... But my counter fear is that I will keep all of these thoughts inside of my head and never know if they find a voice. If I can find my voice. And this is why I'm overcoming concerns with privacy, critiques, lack of experience and what not. I'm going to give it a try. I am going to start a blog. No commitments though, I'm not going to commit to regular posts, or even good posts for that matter. But I am going to use this stage for my own benefit and hopefully someone finds a little joy, insight, help, or inspiration along the way.
