I’ve got a secret (4 min read)

Well Patty B wrote about her dirty little secret yesterday, read patty’s blog if you haven’t. Today I’m going to tell you my dirty little secret, I’ve had this secret for awhile. I’ve told a little fib.... a small little lie. What is this lie you wonder? Well keep reading

This is a blogging journey that I embarked on, with out really knowing how it would end, for that matter how it really started either ?? To be 100% honest I never thought I would get a boost or be recognized by Coil. I thought this would end and I would fail horrible at it, never imagined that people would want to read anything this fat old man had to say, as my inner voice would tell me.

I had no chance, no hope, not even a glimmer of a shot to succeed.

In my mind succeeding was, a boost from coil that was never going to happen. I’m a failure, no one wants to read my stuff. As much as I would have continued to blog because I love it and love the Coil community that I some how fell into this wonderful group of people I now call friends.

I seem very positive and I am really a positive person 99 % of the time but, The inner battle I had with myself over this was a struggle, I was in a battle between what my mind thought and my heart wanted . My heart wanted to write, my mind said you are worthless so stop writing and give up. I mean, NOW I loved to write BUT, was convinced I would fail in my mind, I had 60% in English in high school. I was a kid that hated school. This was a battle I would lose, trying to blog. My inner voice had a hay day with this and fed my mind every negative comment I could think of and some I couldn’t think of.

Well my little white lie, my little secret ... for the last month I’ve told no one that I’ve been blogging. Not a soul, No one from my family or friends that is. Not even my wife. Not sure why? I know Lee would have supported me in anything I do. I was scared I’d fail, I’d be ashamed if I did and didn’t want anyone to know if I did. But this story ends happy, I beat those negative thoughts right out of my mind. Fought through all month and

I got a boost from Coil. I feel validated. I feel like I did it. Even though I know I succeed with out a boost it still felt really good. So now my wife knows about my blogging adventure and she’s reading like I’ve never seen her read before, enjoying my personal confession or diary of blogs, laughing and crying beside me in bed as she reads them and I write this. What I’ve realized all along is .... this is what I need to be validated, to have my beautiful wife read them, laugh, cry and give her support. All I’ve needed was Lee, all I need is Lee. I say it again like I have before, I am the lucky one 🍀

Thank you to Coil for the boost and this amazing platform to use , I am eternally grateful 🙏🏼
