New Set Of Eyes
<p>For the longest time I've suffered from the fear of being perceived. I didn't like it when people stared at me. Yet, deep down, I wanted to put myself out there.</p><p>I wanted my audience.</p><p>To build my own community.</p><p><br/></p><p>I'll post a video on the Internet and go offline then begin to think and feel cringe about it.</p><p> "Has this person viewed it?"</p><p>" what if they don't like this post?"</p><p> " what if it flops?".</p><p><br/></p><p>These were the thoughts that ran through my mind.</p><p><br/></p><p>But along the line I came to realize that I wasn't only suffering from the fear of being perceived. But I was scared that my post won't go viral and someone else was already doing the same thing I do.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let me tell you something my friends.</p><p><br/></p><p>There was a time I decided to remove all the videos on my TikTok page.</p><p>Why? I felt people were creating alike content already and I won't go viral. If anybody asked me, I'd lie to them that I wanted to start doing something serious on my page that was why I decided to delete my posts.</p><p><br/></p><p>P.s some of them might be reading this now ( smiles in colorful shame).</p><p><br/></p><p>But deep down I was enveloped with the "FEAR OF BEING PERCEIVED"</p><p>So I decided to start again to see how far I'll go. ( I applaud my courage though).</p><p><br/></p><p>I had always had a thing of early virality.</p><p>Low Self esteem in audience wise.</p><p>Comparison - this kept me in my shell for the longest period.</p><p>What people will say.</p><p>And dim myself to make others shine. </p><p>Even when I had greater inbuilt creativity.</p><p>Admire them from afar, clap for them and later go to my closet to cry. </p><p>Not because I was jealous, but because I wasn't doing what I loved.</p><p><br/></p><p>My friends 🌝</p><p>Guess who's an overcomer today?</p><p>Yes you guessed right, it's me!.</p><p><br/></p><p>Now here is the point.</p><p><br/></p><p>There will always be a NEW SET OF EYES of people that haven't seen you or what you do!.</p><p>NEW SET OF EARS of people that haven't heard/listened to you!</p><p>NEW SET OF HANDS of people that haven't held you!</p><p>NEW SET OF HEART of people that haven't loved you and cheer you!.</p><p><br/></p><p>Don't shrink yourself for no one. </p><p>Do that hard thing. </p><p>Do that cringe thing. </p><p>The sky is big enough for everyone. </p><p>The world's population is approximately 8.23 billion.</p><p>Your thing is unique and no one has ever had or done it like you! </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>No one♡♡.</p>
