Strengths and Weaknesses


One thing I struggle with is overthinking and anxiety. 

Another thing I struggle with is fear of speaking and timidity. 

Ironically, communication does not come easy to me. 

In reality, worry is something natural in me. 

Though these may be stumbling blocks, they're also windows of opportunity.

They give me a chance to understand myself, what makes me, me. 

Because I am introspective and introverted, I am a great listener. 

So naturally, I am willing to learn from others, even if I am sure. 

These positives and negatives balance each other out, 

giving me the ability to live life without excessive doubt.
