Why
Change is never something I felt open to.
But something I need to change, is the lack of confidence in this generation.
Or maybe not confidence, but the change of judgement
I know there are people like me,
who wish they could express themselves, but cannot because there is too much pressure.
The feeling of crawling up inside yourself because there's a voice telling you,
"If you dont make eye contact with the entire room, you will get points marked off."
"Do you really think taking a creative risk is worth it?"
"What will people think when they see your work? Will it be critized to the point where you no longer have the urge to create?"
Or the arrogance of those around, who may not understand that you try to the best of your ability.
The why is simple; I NEED this change.
I need it for myself.
You need it for yourself.
The change in confidence.
The ability to look at yourself within a mirror and be okay,
to accomplish anything you choose.
