A day in someone else’s shoes..

Written by:

If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

I honestly would like to be a better version of myself.

I grew up in a family who chose to doubt my ability to succeed, and I went to a school where my lack of abilities to succeed was compared to my better than average other family members.

So I was stuck with the ‘Not good enough’ tag, and it has followed me through life!.

If only I had been born with the capabilities of my siblings and felt proud to be who I was …I would have gone down a different path in life.

I would have been clever enough to choose a good path in life and find a career that I excelled in… I would have looked pretty enough and found a husband who encouraged me and loved me..

I could have been whoever I wanted to be if only I could have shaken off the ‘Not good enough’ …no confidence…lack of self esteem..tag.

I used to dream about being a better version of myself, but it was only in the later stage of my life that I learnt to practice mindfulness and believe a lot more in myself.

Yes, I  have the power within me to be  a successful writer..artist..illustrator…

photographer.

So I better stop writing this and get on with the other Me.
