Giving my opinion

Fear is one powerful emotion. Fear kept me from speaking up a great many times. As a teenager, I would not say anything to "rock the boat" within my family, because I feared being kicked out of home, (I lived there, and was part of the family, so therefore, it was my home too.) As a teenager, I began to have self-esteem issues, I could do nothing right in my father's eyes, so I hated going to work with him. Later, at my job in the hospitality industry, I said nothing to "rock the boat" because I feared if I was fired, I would not find another job (my father's words rang in my ears). Today, I am a college graduate and my degree, (even in this economy), along with the positive feedback from my co-workers, has served to raise my self-esteem, and with that I will no longer take any "lip" from anyone who seeks to make me feel less, for whatever reason motivates them.

A new day..

I realize I've not posted for a while, but I intend on changing that, by posting my feelings on this blog. Get ready! Whatever's on my mind, it will go on this blog.
