So... why don't I work at changing this? Why don't I 'study' other people and how they 'express their thoughts through words' and learn from them?
Why do I just go to saying that I'm not good at it? I think ultimately this is because I don't want to be seen as 'awkward' when I speak or because I just down right compare myself to others. Who cares if this person can express their feelings in a more fluid and clear way... I can't (as of now) and so I'm just going to stumble through my thoughts and work at it.
Another thing... Why do I say that I'm 'shy' or 'quiet'? Yes I am, but ultimately I have been voted one of the loudest people in my family... and that means I'm loud...NOT SHY or QUIET. So why do I hide behind this? It simply hinders me from stepping out, getting to know people, having meaningful relationships, and on top of it all... SHARING THE GOSPEL.
So... I'm gonna work at it. That's it.
And just because it's fall....
