I have to put those aside though, just like you said.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01445455787485222068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287168903003077619.post-93445028682832402011-06-14T10:06:12.457-06:002011-06-14T10:06:12.457-06:00Good for you!

What if... what if... what if... And it goes around and around and around. The hardest part for me is using all that insecurity to motivate me instead of staying stuck.Kayeleen Hamblinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652280450104899423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287168903003077619.post-63995661974212598582011-06-14T08:07:41.118-06:002011-06-14T08:07:41.118-06:00We are all insecure, because that what we do is ju...We are all insecure, because that what we do is judged so subjectively. Keep in mind that regardless of how successful JK Rowling is, there are still people who hate Harry Potter.
