I’ve had people comment how brave I am to share so much of my life publicly. I’ve also had people say “I could never do that! I’m too private.”
Please don’t mistake the way I show up on social media as I’m not a private person. I have things that are not shared, thoughts I keep to myself and conversations I have just with my inner circle. But I’ve also really leaned into being consistent on social media and sharing bits of my heart to connect with people. And it has been one of the most beautiful leaps of faith I’ve taken. Some of the best connections I’ve made were birthed out of me being vulnerable online.
Was it hard and awkward for a while? I feel like it was.
Do I still struggle at times? Yes.
Have I considered ditching social media all together? Several times.
But I won’t because I have created a healthy relationship with it. And I’m not so transparent everyone knows everything. But what I do share, I go all in.
And you would be surprised who is watching your journey and being inspired by it! So don’t give up. Keep sharing. Keep being brave. God is using you!
