I was thinking the other day about my reason for this website. Like, the BIG reason. My driving force. The thing that propels me to keep going (even when it feels tough and I think about quitting.) And here it is:
Growing up, I never had someone to say to me: “You know what? You are gonna be just fine. Yes, you might mess up, but you will learn from those mistakes… …And I will be right here the whole time telling you you can do it, and reminding you what a wonderful person you are, all the times that you forget.” I realized a while ago that if I didn’t have someone in my life like that… well, maybe I needed to be that person - for myself. So that’s what I did. It doesn’t always work (I’m human), but it certainly helps. And I realized that maybe other people need this too. Someone to say to them: You know you’re doing just fine, yes? You know you’re actually a totally awesome person, even if you can only see the bad and the average stuff?! So that is what this site is for. Because you are going to be okay. I know it. And you are doing just fine. Even if you think you’re not. Even if all you see is stuff-ups and falling down. I’m here to remind you of all the times you got back up again. To remind you of the good (because it’s so easy to see the bad!) So that’s my “why” for this website. Because I 100% believe that you will be okay. And I 100% believe that you have it in you to succeed. And you have the strength to get to where you need to be. So carry on, go forth with your projects and dreams, and know that there is someone out there who believes in you – even when you don’t believe in yourself. I am cheering for you from afar :)
