Couple of days ago by chance I read an inspirational blog post, Soft Focus. I shared the same path going From Hiding to Blogging.

I used to be scared by
the expressions from others’ eyes
while they were looking at me.
I used to be worried by
the implications in others’ words
while they were speaking to me.
I used to be concerned by
the ideas of me in others’ brain
while they were “educating” me.
I used to refuse to open my heart since
others didn’t favor ME
and hated my uniqueness.
Then I took the first step, and second
to uproot from
the shades of others’ perspectives.
I opened the window
to inhale the calmness sent by sunrise
and to reveal the true happy self!
such a beautiful poem! really great. so many people care too much what others think of them, and its hard to find true inner happiness. very well done! ~The TJ Blog
