Today’s blog post is going to be short and sweet.

Recently, I have been struggling badly with anxiety. Anxiety has a way of silencing me, telling me my voice is unwanted, and making me fearful of showing up to the world.

There’s so much I want to share with the world…and write, create, make, post…but most of the time it gets deleted, hidden in drafts, or bottled up inside.

Seriously, I get terrified to even log into Instagram nowadays, because it gives me so much anxiety. I’m always left thinking that no one wants to hear my words and what I have to say.

I am telling myself: no more. Why?

Because God has written your story, and He makes no mistakes.

If anyone else out there gets the same feelings sometimes, may we remember that we are perfectly created by the ultimate designer Himself.

I have come to the realization that what people think of you—is just their perception of you. Filtered through their own life experiences, social media feeds, etc.

Truly, the only person who truly knows you, is the one who created you and knows every hair on your head.

So may we shift our focus into finding our identity in Him, and not in the world around us.

Doing this, I’m learning that my anxiety can subside and I can focus on what I feel called to do.

Friends, we have stories to tell, work to do, and art to make. You can do this. You are loved, you are worthy, and your voice is wanted.
