No More Hiding

I have spent far too much of my life "in-my-own-world"; in my own comfortable, little shell.
I have always thought inward. My thoughts I have kept mostly to myself. Very few people have actually SEEN me. I have always been afraid to let someone in.
My fear is that I am not good enough for the world around me. That I lack in something special that everyone else shares. I hide from the world, because the world is better off without me.
It was only recently that I came to fully understand that my life and my happiness have been extremely hindered by this mentality. I'm a human being. I have value. But I have to see it first before anyone else can.
I'm starting this blog so that I can no longer hide. My thoughts are now open for the world to see. I am no longer ashamed or afraid, but proud. You can see me. Everyone can. Whether or not anyone cares is not important. I am not hiding anymore.
